you resemble 213 00:24:19,030 --> 00:24:15,740 sometimes a camera and Joey's wandering 214 00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:19,040 out for Bob Crippen when you return are 215 00:24:24,730 --> 00:24:22,610 you going to really recommend that seven 216 00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:24,740 crew members again are flown aboard the 217 00:24:31,510 --> 00:24:29,570 space shuttle that's a very tough 218 00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:31,520 question of one that I considered a lot 219 00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:34,490 for us to take this mission I guess the 220 00:24:37,990 --> 00:24:36,410 result is that I have found that if 221 00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:38,000 people are properly disciplined that 222 00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:40,250 they're at least with the kinds of tasks 223 00:24:44,820 --> 00:24:42,770 that we have that they're we can't 224 00:24:50,799 --> 00:24:44,830 operate seven people in the shuttle 225 00:24:52,900 --> 00:24:50,809 Martin Dean yes Bob Crippen Bob how 226 00:24:54,730 --> 00:24:52,910 difficult or discouraging has it been 227 00:25:00,880 --> 00:24:54,740 for you to deal with a mission that has 228 00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:00,890 had so many troubles problem which 229 00:25:12,010 --> 00:25:06,410 nation was that for I follow up is this 230 00:25:14,980 --> 00:25:12,020 mission okay yeah we've had the problems 231 00:25:18,070 --> 00:25:14,990 I think they probably been more of tough 232 00:25:19,810 --> 00:25:18,080 for the ground to deal with the problem 233 00:25:21,490 --> 00:25:19,820 we ran into with the Cajun in antenna I 234 00:25:23,500 --> 00:25:21,500 know it's certainly given these surfing 235 00:25:24,010 --> 00:25:23,510 folks from the promised land get all 236 00:25:26,110 --> 00:25:24,020 their data 237 00:25:28,690 --> 00:25:26,120 I believe that Mission Control in 238 00:25:29,890 --> 00:25:28,700 Houston is done a marvelous job and it 239 00:25:33,789 --> 00:25:29,900 normally does and coming up with 240 00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:33,799 workarounds allows I think that's in the 241 00:25:37,539 --> 00:25:35,330 general tenor of the way we do business 242 00:25:38,770 --> 00:25:37,549 that if things don't work out we'll 243 00:25:40,510 --> 00:25:38,780 we'll make the best of what we have I 244 00:25:42,549 --> 00:25:40,520 believe we're getting good data for them 245 00:25:43,780 --> 00:25:42,559 we had a little problem with our fists I 246 00:25:45,490 --> 00:25:43,790 think that we've got that under control 247 00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:45,500 now and 248 00:25:49,110 --> 00:25:47,210 as far as we're concerned that
