The busiest time was during landing, with over 8000 calls in the final nine minutes of the flight. This was the first time the number was publicly available, though journalists (and readers of this list....) had access to the line during the first three flights. NASA says that some callers were disappointed by the paucity of communications between the astronauts and Houston.
