X-radiography performed after the mission shows an abundance of rock fragments from about 25 cm depth to 110 centimeters, presumably representing ejecta from the Camelot impact. Layers of fragments at 120 and 130 centimeter depths are probably associated with other nearby impacts, such as Poppie. The core then has relatively few fragments to a depth of about 190 cm, with the interval presumably representing reworked ejecta. Fragment layers are then encountered at depths of 250, 280, 290, and 310 centimeters. Although there are certainly differences in the details between the rock fragment distributions with depth at the core and heat flow holes - dependent on the placement of individual rocks in the various ejecta blankets - a general correlation is likely. However, the fact that the deep core is in a shallow depression - coupled with the random horizontal distribution of rocks in the various ejecta blankets - makes it difficult to identify his "hard layer" with a particular fragment zone in the core. -|ALSJ||Jack is running toward the Rover, using what looks to be a very efficient foot-to-foot gait.

Parkinson's Law applied to lunar modules. 170:45:07|ALSJ||Parkinson's Law - : "Work expands so as to fill the time available for its completion." was first published in a 1955 essay by Cyril Northcote Parkinson. 170:45:07|ALSJ|LMP|It disturbs me that I did training for this for over a year and it didn't get permanently imbedded in long-term memory. I wonder if actors remember their scripts? Probably not. It's probably all short-term stuff, except for pieces. But still, I trained for Apollo 15 - the same procedures. So it was 30 months and, God knows how many of these (rehearsals) we really did in that period of time. We never memorized the checklist - never tried to. The fact is, that would have been a bad thing to do, to work from memory. You'd be taking a risk of forgetting something. That's why you had the cue cards. But it's strange; why would I not remember having that difficulty (with the feedwater shutoff). diff --git a/_AFJ/createAFJ.py b/_AFJ/createAFJ.py index 21ab427d..4ac0e3cb 100644 --- a/_AFJ/createAFJ.py +++ b/_AFJ/createAFJ.py @@ -109,7 +109,7 @@ def get_combined_transcript_list(): photos_reader = csv.reader(open(input_file_path, "rU"), delimiter='|') first_row = True for photo_row in photos_reader: - if photo_row[0] != "" and first_row is False: #if timestamp not blank + if photo_row[0] != "" and photo_row[0] != "skip" and first_row is False: #if timestamp not blank if len(photo_row[1]) == 5: photo_filename = photo_row[2] + "-" + photo_row[1] + ".jpg" else: @@ -172,7 +172,7 @@ def write_segment_file(timestamp_start, timestamp_end, segment_filename, segment item_template = loader.load_template('template_afj_footer.html') output_segment_file.write(item_template.render({'datarow': 0}, loader=loader).encode('utf-8')) -output_file_name_and_path = "./_webroot/TOC.php" +output_file_name_and_path = "./_webroot/TOC.html" output_TOC_file = open(output_file_name_and_path, "w") output_TOC_file.write("") output_TOC_file.close() diff --git a/_Website/_webroot/indexes/commentaryData.csv b/_Website/_webroot/indexes/commentaryData.csv index 6dc13abe..7562ff3f 100644 --- a/_Website/_webroot/indexes/commentaryData.csv +++ b/_Website/_webroot/indexes/commentaryData.csv @@ -14,7 +14,7 @@ -004926|Oral History 2000|LMP|At that point I felt very comfortable.

We expected to see fillets on some sides of a boulder and not on others and saw fillets almost everywhere we went.

You very quickly realize, probably in the first couple of minutes, that you don't need to take baby steps or regular steps to get anywhere. Somehow your brain and your body coordinate your movements and, if you're going to go any distance - 10 or 12 or 15 feet or further away - you start skipping or hop-skipping to get where you're going. And it's not like you start running. It's just that you move with such ease. Later on, when you start moving at faster paces than we were doing here, if you decide to turn or change directions you have to think about your high center-of-mass and plan how you're going to handle that - or you're going to go tail-over-teakettle. But you adapt very readily, very quickly, physiologically and psychologically. You're conscious, as soon as you're on the surface, that you're in this one-sixth g environment and that you can move around so much more easily. I don't think we ever really said anything about it, but in five or ten minutes you knew in a general way what you could do and what you couldn't do in terms of using one-sixth gravity to your advantage. Within the first few minutes, after we got the Rover down, we just picked it up - one of us on each end - and turned it around. The human being is a very unique, very adaptable creature. -||CDR|I've forgotten the details of how the Rover deployed, but it was a slick operation.
