He read something off a bio. I didn't hear what he was but I heard the apology.

He was reading info without pre-screening it. Part of it was about Chawla making serious mistakes on her previous mission which caused a lot of work for others to fix. As soon as I heard it I thought that sucked to dig up old dirt like that at a time like this.

OH! Ok I remember now....he mentioned in the astronaut's bio on the female from India that on her first mission she was responsible for messing up several experiments and causing a research satellite to launch incorrectly from the payload bay. They had to do an EVA to correct the problem.


Can't ding him too much on that. He was reading live copy as it was handed to him without the benefit of proof reading it before he read it.

I heard him say earlier something about her losing some equipment in space (or almost losing some) can’t recall the exact comment... may have been that-only speculating here.
