Hi Bob,
Just read about Janet Armstrong chain smoking during the decent listening to the 'squark box' (a direct feed from Nasa of the audio loop), she refused to watch tv and lisen to repeporters speculate whether her husband might not make it home.
She also studied the whole mission and knew when vital steps and ticked them off her check list.
She was seen banging on a coffee table when Columbia was a little late from signal acquisition from behind the moon the previous day.
I recon she would be pretty stressed out but still holding it together for the kids and the press in the front yard or the reporters for Time magazine in her lounge.
Cheers
Andy
