116:55:33 The possible sim at 2 o'clock has been scrubbed

(1/1)

MadDogBV:
A re-entry simulation that was due to be conducted at 2pm in the afternoon is officially stricken when AFD calls the SIM SUP, letting him know that Gene Kranz ordered for it to be canceled due to timeline considerations. This later thrills the FIDO on duty (Dave Reed), who was concerned about having to give up real-time tracking data due to the simulation requirements.

It is indeed rescheduled to 6am the following day, the same time that the White Team is going on shift - and a nail-biting eight hours prior to entry interface!
