Say, for instance, some alarms started going off on the Shuttle while their were sleeping. The PAO officer on duty would say, "Alarms are going off on the Space Shuttle, now in Flight Day x." Well, probably not like that, but what would x equal? Or do Flight Days simply only refer to times of planned consciousness (many astronauts will tell you that they don't get the best of sleep in space) ? ------------------------------ Jonathan T.
