launch simulations.
McDivitt
I think so too.
I think those reentry simula­
tions we did that day were certainly worthwhile.
..
We only had to do a few of them to learn the
procedures for getting the information back and
forth.
We tried one one day, and it was so
horrible that I ' m certainly glad that something
like that didn't happen during flight. But
after we had done a couple of more
it smoothed
out,
I
had no doubt in my mind whatsoever
that we were going to be able to pass the in­
formation back and forth.

That's right.
I felt that they were equally
as important as the launch simulation.
14.12 Network Simulation
McDivitt
The Network Simulation.
We didn't actually
participate in the Network Simulations, and I
don't think we missed a thing.
I think, though ,
that something that was r equir ed was a discussion
with the Network Controllers . We came back to
Houston to tell them our points of view and
explain to them the kind of information we
wanted passed back and forth and the for mat of
~hlante.d this infor mation given to us.
