With the other pilots, Young and Crippen began full-time training in January 1978. Each has received 25 hours of formal instruction a week in such subjects as navigation and astronomy, but each also spends many more hours poring over what Astronaut Crew Trainer Thomas Kaiser calls the "cookbook"-a 21-volume compendium of launch, orbit and descent procedures for piloting Columbia that will be on board during the flight. The manual is changed constantly; in the office shared by Young and Crippen is a stack of mimeographed revisions 2½ ft. high. The two men have also spent more...

...Kaiser: I don't think you're fair. Let me go a step further and make a counterassault. The view you're expressing has been passed on from time to time in a semiofficial way, and it is really counterproductive. It irritates the Europeans because they feel they are doing a number of constructive things. It is certainly not correct to say that the Europeans have done absolutely nothing. If you put together all the measures, you come up with quite a list of actions.* Nor can you blame the Europeans for not coming forth with immediate...
