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 "&")
