Flush Mode .
We got the water management thing
kind of goofed up. Let's just take the drinking
thing first. The drinking nozzle was attached to
the management panel by a hose and the hose looked
like it was made out of rotten rubber .
The

the thing into my mouth-­
The first bad moment of the f l ight .

"Ed, this is going to be the shortest four day
flight in history. "

Jim said, "Guess what? · The water doesn ' t work."
