This is actually a response to shuttle_guy:<br /><br />Can you explain what a "que card" is in this context?<br /><br />Also why were the 2 crewmen sick? Were these the astronauts sick?<br /><br />Thanks!

Interesting. Where there any repercussions from management for the crew?<br /><br />Jon <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><em>Whether we become a multi-planet species with unlimited horizons, or are forever confined to Earth will be decided in the twenty-first century amid the vast plains, rugged canyons and lofty mountains of Mars</em>  Arthur Clarke</p> </div>

I remember watching this on TV. In my ignorance, I figured the delay in lowering the landing gear was intentional hubris and "this guy's a hot dog!" Wrong Que cards, imperial-to-metric conversion, switches installed backwards, falling foam...the openness with which NASA operates highlights how easily things can go wrong with any complicated machine. I hope those guys weren't punished, because it sounds like they should deserved a medal.
