see what the actual time difference ws.s. Maybe it
was just us.
Conrad
They can ring that out real easy. We can improve
the reentry on the simulator a little bit, it's
different in this respect.
Cooper
Okay, Crew Station.
I have the same C)mment that I
made after Mercury on that.
I think t::lat it is just
t oo bad that we can' t have horizontal 3imulators be­
cause that is exactly the way you are :in orbit. You
are not laying on your back, you are ~1 a horizontal
configuration. If your simulator ran horizontal you
would be standing just like you would be in orbit.
Orientation is entirely different.
Conrad
I compliment the Gemini crew station on the layout of
t he para.meters that are displayed to you.
I feel that
there are some other para.meters that I would like to
have seen displayed in the spacecraft throughout the
flight.
As an example, I ha te to rely on the ground
for radiator temperatures or have them call me to
heat up a cooling loop.
That type of thing is an
onboard function. It is very nice that the ground
monitors and takes care of you.
The spacecraft was
extremely well layed out, and as we thought in the
simulator it turned out to be true in flight .
