Your Reply: HTML is ON UBB Code is ON Smilies Legend	[QUOTE]Originally posted by LM-12: [B]S-IC/S-II staging on Apollo 16: <BLOCKQUOTE>[i]MATTINGLY: I was well braced for it. I'm sure glad I was. That really gets your attention! YOUNG: I mean to tell you it does. I was holding on to the bottom of the T-handle, at that point, because I sure didn't want to do the wrong thing. DUKE: It's a good idea to brace yourself. And, I was surprised with the debris that I caught out of my left eye as it came by the hatch window from the staging. YOUNG: Hey, that's another thing you remarked on. MATTINGLY: Yes. That amazing. YOUNG: The debris was going right along with us. MATTINGLY: It was passing us. I don't understand that. DUKE: I think that was from retrofire. MATTINGLY: No, sir. This was during the powered flight steady state. There were particles; I looked out John's window and particles were going by us in the same direction. I kept looking at that; there's no way. But, it did it. I don't remember it on the S-I; but I remember it on the S-II and the S-IV. SLAYTON: This wasn't during the staging sequence? MATTINGLY: No, sir. This was steady state, powered flight well after staging; and, I don't know where they came from. I don't know what they were, but they were there.[/i]<BLOCKQUOTE> [/B][/QUOTE]
