...flight, however, a few minor problems developed. Expecting to take his first drink of water, Stafford instead got a mouthful of highly chlorinated water; because of ierroneous instructions from the ground the crew had failed to open a valve to the water tank, leaving only the evil tasting liquid in the drinking tube. As on on previous Apollo missions, there were troublesome hydrogen bubbles in the drinking water, which is produced by the fuel cells in the same oxygen-hydrogen reaction that supplies the spacecraft's electricity.
