we owned out and we ' d be going through
books and writing and flight plan and
then we ' d leave the states and it says
pilot ' s nap period and Gordo was supposed
t o do something else and that was imposs­
ible - it would take two more revs to
clean up the spacecraft before we ever
got to do anything else so we never got
on that part of the flight plan.
This
pilot nap period - that was a big joke ­
Now pilot's eat period and nap period
and all ­
Always cleaning the spacecraft and we
had to clean up the whole thing - it was
a good time to do it -- we' d have meal
garbage out and we ' d have all the experi­
ments out so we ' d -- up to the states on
that last one.
It was handier to eat together too ­
because you had to get the stuff out
anyway--so it was handier for us just to
eat together so we just always ate at
the same time.
