This is fun for me, I'm ex nasa…I hired on after Challenger. I worked in the Engineering branch of the Shuttle Program office. I know some about the shuttle countdown. You build a countdown that gives you the best chance to reach a successful T-0. The holds are critical, the holds are the time you are doing work….you calculate a time "green light" time for the hold….the time it takes to get all your tasks done with no issues. Then you look at the issues you could encounter in the tasks for each hold and calculate time to resolve those issues. You've got to balance that hold time with other constraints like Cryo temp conditioning. Anyway…this makes sense to the approach Q team is using. Release something and hold…Waite till things are in parameters then start the clock again.

I've tried before, I hired on after Challenger but my boss worked on the LEM, others in my office were Apollo, I knew Gene Kranz and his family. They all believed we went to the moon. There are reflectors that were placed on the moon to bounce laser light to be able to identify orbital perturbations. Those reflectors are there today and can be used. I remember some university's have used them recently. We went to the moon.
