time that we have now.
I'd like to see us record­
ing a great deal of the flight . It'd be nice to
have a switch to turn it off from time to time
if you did want to discuss something that you
didn ' t want to go on tape.
I don't think we ought to put the whole flight
on tape . If we flew a week-long flight, it would
take a week to go through the tape.
You wouldn't
want long periods of nothing on there.
I think
the way we wanted to operate it this time would
have been all right, if we could have just opera­
ted it that way.
There were certain periods
where we put a tape on and ra.n it all the way
through. Well, that was the tape that covered
a certain experiment or something.
On our D-9 Experiment, we used it.
Yes , that's where we used a whole tape on it .
Then there were periods that were questionable
when you were sl eeping and I wasn I t doing anything,
or I was sleeping and you weren't doing anything.
If you carried adequate tapes, and you had adequate
warning when the thing went on and off, you would
not have the same situation we had on the D-9
