And that compl icates
the recovery phase of it quite a bit .
Bonnan

Lovel l

too.
Borman
We didn't feel like running foot races when we finally hit
the water.
We had planned to get out of our pressure
suits into that orbital flight suit, but the effort was
just too great. So,we just opened the repress valve to get
some more cooling in there and sat.
Lovel 1
That ' s right.
We opened up t he repress valve; di d we have
the cabin fan on?
Borman
No, we didn ' t have the cabin fan on .
He had the snorkle
valve with the suit fans and the o2 HI HATE and the re­
press valve open.
Borman
The checklists were all right then as far as you're con­
cerned?
Lovell
Yes.
I thought the recovery phase was very good.
I t hink
I missed one or two.
I know I didn' t turn all the s tack
switches off, but the power and control switches were off
during the reentry phase; so, there was no problem there.
