[NCC-1701]

Yes I have. Very intense minute of comm. After Al Bean reconfigured the SEC to AUX, things calmed down and the crew literally laughed their way to orbit. Loved Pete Conrad’s comment about needing some more bad weather testing.

Pete Conrad was a character, and Al Bean was a perfect straight man for him. I've got Bean's book around here somewhere.

There aren't any men like that left in the space program.
