That kind of startles you when you
::
realize they are
9ntering below you. It means

you.
This is when the exp imenters went out of their
minds .
They handed us this flight pl8l1 you wouldn' t
believe where they had 1, 2, 3,4,5 , 6,7,8,9,10 , 11 ,
12, 13,14, 15, 16,17,18 , 19 , 20,21 22,23, no 22 experiments
they gave us to do in a row an they ir.volved
everything in the spacecraft anti we had gear all
over.
You wouldn' t believe it.
I never had so
much junk--we went wild.
That'/s when we called
up and said, "Hey, gang let' s be a l i t·~le more

The other problem
didn't list them
seque
Yes, that' s right.
They put them in there and we had to keep skipping
around on them to get the sequential time on them
and that was a mess .
Now, what we did is we copied down in this book
and then we'd write it down at the proper time so
that we had it sequentially in the flight plan.
It worked out very well.
