The Parachutes and Mission Control
The final thing I remember about this mission was this re-entry period. When the parachutes don't come out, you're rather short of alternatives and considerably short of time. In mission control, nobody's laughing. You're very anxious and tense to make sure you've got everything all zipped up. There are now just 18 minutes left before the ultimate test of odour season insurance. Less than 5,000 kilometres to go, their velocity is 8 kilometres per second and climbing. The cone-shaped craft is hurtling with its blunt base forwards. They can see the moon, now small and distant.
