1.0 COUNTDOWN
1.1 Crew Insertion
Borman
I have no comment.
I thought it went ve~y well.
Lovell
Likewise, no comment on crew insertion.
I think we got
quite a. bit done. It was very orderly.
Borman
Timing was good and it was done properly.
1.2 Communications
Borman
Communications were good.
I had no troubl e at all.
Lovell
I had no trouble with communications in the cockpit or the
spacecraft, but the communications in the va.n from the
suiting area t o the other area a.re rather poor. Maybe we
should try to get that improved sometime.
1.3 Crew Participation in Countdown
Borman
Again, I think they have been used on 4 or 5 l aunches, and
I thought they were fine.
Lovell
Right.
Countdown procedure and crew participation is just
what you expect now.
1.4 Comfort
Borma.n
Comfort was fine.
No problems?
Lovell
No problems for comfort , but I was surprised when I got in
the cockPi t, because there was a lot more there than there
was when I got in it for the stowage review.
But, it all
turned out for t he best.
No problems.
