HILL AFB Young and Robert L. Crippen, who piloted the space shuttle Columbia on its historical flight April 12, visited Utah Friday. They were greeted when they arrived at Hill Air Force Base by Lt.

Both astronauts said the shuttle was unusual because it performed so much better than the simulators they had used in training. Young said it is good to have it that way but unusual. He was asked when he first knew on the shuttle was going to fly well, and he said as soon as I took hold of the stick." The astronauts gave Monson a flag carried aboard the Columbia as a present to the people of Utah and also presented the base with a similar flag. , The astronauts said they were proud to have been a part of the Columbia flight and said the mission was unique in that so few problems arose. ' Credit was given to the people at Thiokol who produced the solid fuel booster rockets which provided the thrust to put the Columbia into space. tThe astronauts went by helicopter to the Thiokol plant West of Brigham City following the reception at Hill. Young called the rockets produced at Thiokol the worlds best and praised the dedication of the people who worked on them. Crippen said the people who worked on the rockets and the space shuttle Young is the veteran of four space flights which include a walk on the moon. He said he has just been in the right place at the right time in order to get on that many flights. He has been appointed the head of the astronauts office for the shuttle flights and will coordinate the training for the future shuttle pilots. Crippen said while they were in space it was hard to concentrate on working because it was so much fun being there. The loss of the tiles from the shuttle didnt upset the astronauts who said they could not have done anything to replace them anyway so there was no reason to get upset.
