133:06:41 Trench grumblings about Milt Windler & CSM checklist
« on: September 05, 2024, 09:00:53 am »
At 133:00:49 GET during a last-minute review of the CSM entry checklist, Maroon FLIGHT Milt Windler tells RETRO Tom Weichel that the P-27 updates for a state vector and target load should only be done if absolutely necessary due to shortness of time. Since the order came directly from FLIGHT, RETRO just "rogers" it. But later on, it's clear that some dialogue is happening off the loops regarding how problematic this thinking is. In particular, YAW Gran Paulis points out that the crew doesn't even need to do anything while the loads are being submitted. He surmises Milt Windler must have thought that some reading-up of PADs were necessary to the crew.

FIDO Jay Greene, rather boldly and concisely, suggests that Paulis assumed too much too quickly about Milt's thought process.
