They've got to be heated.John Aaron, EECOM Arthur:Fine. Then trade off the parachutes, something.Ken Mattingly:Well, if the chutes don't open, what's the point?John Aaron, EECOM Arthur:Ken, you're telling me what you need. I'm telling you what we have to work with at this point. I'm not making this stuff up.Ken Mattingly:They're gonna need all these systems, John.John Aaron, EECOM Arthur:We do not have the power, Ken. We just don't have it.Ken Mattingly:Okay. I'm gonna go back and re-organize the sequencing again and find more power. Let's start from scratch.
