Now we have some pretty wild attitudes with respect to one another and we have lost sight of them a time or two.

We have only lost sight of it once. is mostly at yaw. And he is yawing to about 30 or 35 degrees on either side of us. We have rolled about 90 degrees to him right now and the tether is maintaining tension at all times. I 'm impressed. I didn't figure it would, when we first started. SpunUp? must be some dA-Ting in that - in the tether - because we had to give 6 feet of slack right after I let go of it.

We've got a lot of tension. Good steady tension. I can't even see it oscillating. Looks like we've got a good spin going, so that it is going to hold it. Plane? very low. But the Gemini motion, with respect to the tether, is the one - we're the ones that have all the motion, it seems to me. We're doing the 40 degrees plus or minus. Right now we are Just about still at climb of 40 degrees or so to the Orbital Plane. I can't really tell. We are rolling a little bit too. gangbusters. Boy, I didn't think it was going to start, did you? How about me mak4ng me some food or something? didn't - the first wing-ding hasn't gained a bit of tension in it or slack. ara,md by him.
