shadow, because the next time I looked at it, it looked just
like a new engine.
The booster itself had no apparent da­
mage.
The only thing we could see was this big spewing
where the venting was coming from.
I did not see any vent~
ing from the roll nozzle at all. Did you?
Lovell
No, the venting ca.me from some line right along the bottom
edge, near the engine section of the booster.
Borman
That is right.
Lovell
It was a line of some sort that was open, and fuel was
spewing out of it.
Borman
I hope they got the data they wanted on the D-4 and D-7
Experiments. It wa.s,again,a very uncomplicated maneuver, one
that we practiced many times, and it worked just lik~ it
does in simulation. Had no difficulty at all. Toe lights
on the booster worked fine.

Borman
We did not do anything with stowage on the first orbit at
all .
D-ring, pins I have already mentioned, we did not
get those in at all.
Lovell
Arm restraints went down at 55 seconds.
Belts- We did not
even loosen them until after we had done D-4, D-7.
The life
vests we left right on the harness for the entire flight,
but the ha.mess did not stay on us for the entire flight.
