Actually, I believe the "propellant vapor in the cabin" incident occurred in the descent from the Apollo-Soyuz Test Project: this was after the lunar missions (up through Apollo 17), and also after the Skylab visits... so if the flights after the lunar missions had been numbered in the same sequence (which I don't think they were), ASTP would have had a number higher than "18". -dave w _______________________________________________ ERPS-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.erps.org/mailman/listinfo/erps-list
