I love the way NPR made it sound this morning as if the constant step-by-step checking through maneuvers was something new, that usually they just fly seat-of-the-pants. I'm sure people were being extra-meticulous this time, but my impression of NASA procedures is that nothing ever happens without many simulations and run-thorughs and a well defined checklist.
