We've tried to develop
what we call dynamic testing. What does that mean? Well, in dynamic testing,
what we do is that we try to give the man a challenge,
which is applicable to the kind of stress loads that he would get
in flight. Get him as close as you can
to actually doing it? That is correct. The whole idea of the training
was not to enable the astronaut to control and handle the machine
as other flight training. It was really to desensitize the astronaut to the terrors of what
he was gonna undertake

We've tried to develop
what we call dynamic testing.
00:00:03.795 --> 00:00:04.879
What does that mean?
00:00:05.254 --> 00:00:07.059
Well, in dynamic testing,
what we do is that we try
00:00:07.715 --> 00:00:12.345
to give the man a challenge,
which is applicable to the kind
00:00:12.428 --> 00:00:14.148
of stress loads that he would get
in flight.
00:00:14.222 --> 00:00:16.158
Get him as close as you can
to actually doing it?
00:00:16.182 --> 00:00:17.308
That is correct.
00:00:18.768 --> 00:00:21.896
The whole idea of the training
was not to enable the astronaut
00:00:21.979 --> 00:00:24.524
to control and handle the machine
as other flight training.
00:00:25.009 --> 00:00:28.277
It was really to desensitize the astronaut
00:00:28.403 --> 00:00:30.738
to the terrors of what
he was gonna undertake.
