I'd like to get your feeling on calcium balance coming up on the seven.....what do you think how it will affect your post-flight. I don't know how it's going to affect your postflight, but I know it's going to be a real problem. You've just got a lot of things to do. There are a lot of things that can't be done until two weeks before the flight. If you get involved in the bit data--gathering exercises before the flight, I think that it could indeed jeopardize the whole flight. This is my personal opinion. I sort of thought that some of the medical examinations that we had should be moved back earlier. We had a big medical examination at FlTA and that's one of those few days we got a lot of other things that should be taking place and I can't see that my physical condition changed in the last week. Except maybe I got sleepier. But I just feel that when you put all these things into the last couple weeks, you really--the guys that are flying the flight--have got to get ready and there's almost an infinite amount of work to do. You just can't do it all, and it you take time for data-gathering exercises, I sort of feel that it jeopardizes the success of the whole flight. You think you could--another question--Do you think if you had a camera in the right window with a swizzle stick arrangement for pitch, do you think could telescope sites could lock onto have control better pitch than you could with a rigid mounted camera in the right window.

You're talking about a control of the mounting for the camera. A control of the pitch; a control of the mount and the pitch.
