"There was a full Moon out and I saw the ATDA [Augmented Target Docking Adapter] right there in the moonlight. It just came to my mind that it looked like an angry alligator,' Thomas Stafford explained. 'I called it a few other things too when I saw what it was. They wanted Cernan to go extravehicular and take a pair of snippers and try to unsnap it, but the more we looked at it we decided it was not a wise idea. The lines were loaded with some pretty heavy springs and some sharp edges' (Schick and Van Haaften, p. 52). Literature: Mason, p. 114.
