were going to get these final changes in that were
required for our flight.
They sure waited a long
time to put them in.
Yes, two or three days before the flight we still
had a lot of things missing.
In fact, when I got
into the spacecraft, about the first thing I
noticed was that the velcro wasn't around the
8-ball.
About
30 minutes later, while we were
lying there waiting for the launch, El looked up
and pointed at the 8-ball at the place where the
velcro was not.
Yes, there wasn't velcro in several places where I
had wanted it, and in several places where I had
actually drawn in the lines where I wanted them to
put the strips. Inst~ad, they put them 90 degrees to
where I had the lines . I can' t believe they would do
something like that.
I'm not really complaining.
I think they did a pretty ,good job.
Do you have anything else on spacecraft chan.ges?
No.
I thought this was one of the smoother points.
What? Mission rules?
