Borman
Age.in, we had had this described to us ma.ny times, and it
seemed to follow right along.
In the maximum q region we
got some vibration and noise, but after we got through
maximum q it was just like going supersonic in a fighter.
You just slip through, and from then on it was just l ike
riding on a train.
Lovell
I don't think it was bad either.
2.5 :ms
Lovell
Pressure went up to 5.5 in the initial stoppage, and it
slowly leaked down to 5.1, and stayed there.
Borman
I was cool during lift-off.
Lovell
I was too. Comfortable.
Borman
Comfortable. I mean cool in the sense that it means comfor­
table.
Of course we can not very well comment on the cabin
atmosphere because we were sealed.
2.6 Maximum q
Borman
We ha.ve already discussed this. There was some noise build
up and some vibration, but nothing to worry at all about or
even discuss .
