Okay, how about the time you spent in there on
prelaunch.
Do you think that this is about right?
Yes , yes, I think that this is just about right.
I think that if you cut it down too much more
than that you are going to be....you could cut it
down some more , there's no doubt. .. .
It' s that cabin purge cycles when you're not doing
anything really, and that ' s excellent time.
... that you can cut it down, but that' s the thing
that takes the time for both the ground crews...
and that' s lost time.
I don' t know. ...
I don ' t think you want to rush the crew and now
our count that second day went by the clock, boy.
We got in there at the right time.
We counted down
and lifted off on, and I didn' t feel that I was
rushed, and I didn' t feel that I sat in there for
an excessive amount of time.
No , I didn ' t either. I thought that it went just
about right , time wise .
Long as there ' s no holds in the count everything' s
great.
