The only thing I can say about the prelaunch is that the face plate heat was confused too. It finally started working about 3 minutes and about 1 minute it got pretty hot in the face plate so I turned it down low and it seemed to work fine all through the flight. I didn't notice it, I had too many other problems. The only other thing, I forgot to get the MH circuit breakers in. In the confusion there, Jack Russel missed the call to start all over again but it apparently went through all right. I got this indication right after he started the MH test. I checked the system, it wasn't working right. The stick was moving and it shouldn't have been. Everything seemed to be fine on the light up, pump came on, I had good manifolds in stage 2, went to the launch and I got a good amount of thrust to start off with. I was quite surprised when it shut down to say the least. It must have given me a pretty good velocity because I had about 240 knots starting off at somewhere about 210. It seemed to come in very well after I initiated everything. I think I was about 1 second late on the relight attempt because I forgot to shut the throttle off first and I pulled it back to idle and forgot to push it off and I had my hand going the other way and had to return to shut it off. From then on I couldn't believe the plot. I looked at it several times but it didn't seem to match up with what I expected to see until Joe called off pushover to 52,000 and I was just about there at the time. Started to push over and everything was fine. I spent too much time on the g meter trying to figure out which meter I was on, whether I was zero g or -1 or +2 1/2, so I jocked the airplane a little bit to find out which meter was the one I should be watching. And from there on up until the time I reached for the throttle everything seemed to be fairly normal. I got my hand on the throttle but I couldn't get any further because the acceleration was pushing me back as fast as I was trying to get forward on it. I didn't have any trouble reaching it and getting it back and there was no telling from the cockpit what chamber pressure I had. Everything stuck, so I just put it in position and brought it into the turn. I started into the turn more or less on the ball than anything else that I had been using .......... anything except Joe's call out I think he made a call that time, and everything seemed to be real good all the way through the turn, and did everything in the program except I got an indication out of the g suit that I had more g's on than the g meter was saying, and by the time I got up to 5 g's the g suit felt like it was about 8 and after I shut down I had had enough of that. I didn't hold it in the full 5 seconds after I shut down so we didn't get that much of the data. I pulled right out and was .......... dumb because I had pulled in on the pitch trim knob. Then I got the pulses speed brakes out, speed brakes in, speed brakes 20° and the best part of the flight came right at touchdown when I managed to get the trim forward to 0° and it looked real good at touchdown. That's all I have. One thing, after it quit nobody was saying anything. I thought the radios had quit too, because Joe wasn't saying anything, I could never get him to say anything until it was too late.
