Transcription: For each mission, the flight controllers are provided with a handbook containing information about the spacecraft and its systems. For shuttle flights, the handbook is three volumes, each 3 to 4 inches thick. Contrast that with the flight controller's handbook from the last Mercury flight, MA-9, which contained 18 pages of detailed schematic drawings and notes.
