It was quite a shock to when we saw all the dangling particles. Then of course we realised they were primer cords, the devices ed to separate the spacecraft from the booster. They were talking in terms of feet but we were closer - six to eight inches. That's how deftly the spacecraft could be controlled - Walter Schirra (The View from Space, p.50)
