Smilies Legend
[i]There is a point when the IVA crewman pops the helmet on the head of each of the spacewalking crewmen, and he had already buttoned Dale up, and then he was coming to me. Just as he got ready to do it, I said, "David, stop. I am so hungry. I really need a cookie or something to eat." He said, "Oh, Joe, how could you? We're slightly—." I said, "David, I need a butter cookie." So he goes off into the food pantry, grabs things, throws it hither and yon and comes back with a butter cookie. I open my mouth. Keep in mind I can't use my hands now. He puts the butter cookie into [my mouth], the whole thing, and then he hits my jaw shut [demonstrates]. He says, "Eat it, but don't choke, you little rodent." We can come back to that later. I ate the butter cookie; felt better. David put the helmet onto me, popped it. We're now sealed, and there unfolded a pressurizing and then a depressurizing of the airlock, and the EVA started.[/i]
