...Inevitable Delay." Then there was the question of when to depart. Johnson wanted to be sworn in officially before takeoff. Kennedy aides wanted to leave Love Field as soon as the coffin and Mrs. Kennedy arrived. Manchester, relying on interviews conducted later, reports a tense scene between Johnson and Kenneth O'Donnell, J.F.K.'s appointments secretary, in which O'Donnell "over and over" insisted: "We've got to go, we've got to get out of here, we can't wait."

...rescue report estimates that the minimum time required to launch a Titan 3 rocket and rendezvous its rescue vehicle with a low-orbiting spacecraft is four hours. In addition, the orbiting, disabled ship would pass near Cape Kennedy only two or three times per day. Should a countdown be delayed long enough for the "rendezvous window" to close, the rescue ship would have to delay its flight for hours. Thus, unless the astronauts were well supplied with oxygen and in no immediate danger, the rescuers might arrive too late. NASA officials also point out that it would cost at least...
