Yes.
Well, do you feel better?
No-­
At 16 hours and 24 minutes we had a
medical pass.
At 16 hours and 15 minutes
we alined SEF, powered up the radar,
rate gyros, etc.
At 16 hours and 37
minutes we had a D-4 pass 423a,.
That was the first missile.
And we saw it .
Saw it come up thru the clouds--or right
at the edge of the clouds.
Which one was this--out of here-­
No--we didn't get any missiles out of
here. It was out of Vandenburg. It
was the Minuteman out of Vandenburg.
You got it as soon as you came out of
the clouds?
Yes.
Yeah--just as plain as day.
Right on it .
Should have gotten some
good readings on that .
We powered up
the computer then at day 3, 16 hours
