all right.
Conrad
Yes, it was address 03 and address 10 and they ver­
ified okay and that seemed to convince everybody
except me that the load was correct and my mistake,
in retrospect, I should have made them ,transmit the
load and either satisfied myself that the DCS light
had burned out, or that the operation did take place
truly in the ma.mter in which it was supposed to
and it did light the DCS light.
He knew the TR
was right because he had his TR clock synched in
with the spacecraft TR.
Cooper
And he assumed the load was right because he got
maps back on it, but ... .
I'm not too sure I .. . .
Conrad
Yes, that's pretty dangerous. Pretty dangerous .
Cooper
I think this is it as I just pointed out to J . B.
and we were discussing in the corridor here, my
feelings on it are right now are real strongly, that
my recommendation would be to piloia during really
critical time periods, "I'd just turn the DCS
circuit breaker off." I wouldn't even fiddle with
it because that one violation that of everything
we had agreed on has just completely destroyed my
confidence in the whole set up.
That's all it takes
is that one time just to completely foul you up.
