It' s really a grey area.
Right at dusk.
Yeah.
Right at dusk or right at sunrise.
Yeah. Now the first time we went through there we didn ' t
even see it.
We were working.
That wan right after
insertion.
So, mind you, this is the s1~cond time we
got to see it and I can' t emphasize thii, point enough,
even though we were on the flight plan and everything
else, you got to let the guys learn what' s going on up
there.
You haven't been up there befor~ in that darn
vehicle you've got to learn it. That' s :right where we
started getting in trouble.
That' s right.
That's the exact point t·:1.at we made.
I made it for six months now.
For many, many months we've made this over this flight
plan, sticking this REP, thi s whole REP thing in that
early in the Flight Plan before you really have a chance
to get the systems ironed out and checked over and
everything and if everything goes exactly right and
nothing fails you can run through it time and time and
time and time again and you'll make it and you' ll make
it on time.
