it is because we were so well briefed on the simulations

Lovell
There was a little more noise than I expected, but a little

I did not have any visual cues.
I was watching the instru­

Lovell
I had the clouds, end there was a visual cue. Just normal

Borman
Cockpit displays were good.
The fuel pressure and oxidizer
pressure were nominal the whole flight. Just perfect.

Borman

Borman
I called it out, but we only rolled,I think,about 2 or 3°.

Lovell
