Right, I was thinking a little deeper. As in, how much of the actual control modes where automated? Did the craft wait for corrections from mission control on that 3-second delay back then? Did it compute it's own corrections on its own? Today, is more (or even all) of that flight behavior automated such that there's no real opportunity (given the aforementioned 3-second delay) for humans to say "hey this doesn't look right, cancel the maneuver node stand by for further instructions"?
