Transcription Notes:
Please review the following: Is it bite or Cite? To me, it looks like Cite. Person who originally transcribed it put bite. Bullet point 3: Insert symbol for "and" (not "&") Please have someone with technical expertise review bracketed word. Probably a misspelling of "noticeable," but since Ride was an English major, review is warranted. Under "REAL LAUNCH DAY": 1st double brackets: Insert symbol for "and" (not "&") 2nd double brackets: Have technical expert review; "IMV," or "IMU?" 3rd double brackets: Insert symbol for "and" (not "&")
