trouble getting my D-ring in, did you?
I waited on mine, remember.
Yes , you waited . .. .
I s towed my D- ring thing
So we closed the cover immediately and I decided I
woul d go ahead and see if I could get mine, and I
got to i t right away and it went right in, so I
put it in.
We, of course, got in trouble in the second orbit ,
but we did not unstrap or put t he drogue pins in
the seat or unstow any items of gear other than the
flight plan books and the 16mm camera and the
Hasselblad.
I take it back.
We went through the
Flight Plan as advertised and then stowed the items.
We had D-2 canera out, the Blob out, but we did this
in the proper places in the Flight Pl an. But we
never did unstrap.
We never unstrapped and never put the drogue pins
in until after we go to 6 - 4 GO.
We got a
6 - 4 GO.
But we restowed too , after we got in t rouble.
We
throught maybe having to go into 6-4 why,
we'd put ourselves back into the configuration
