T O P I C R E V I E WBMckayIf they needed to do an emergency EVA, who would have done it?heng44Crippen was the EVA crewman.Ed HengeveldBMckaySo he would have ventured out by himself?heng44Yes, I believe that's right.EdLunar_module_5In the 1983 documentary "John Young - The Ultimate Exporer", Young is seen praticing an EVA in the WETF. He is seen using the handle that closes the PLBD manually. Did he practice this in case Crippen was unable to do the EVA? Also...I remember a report at the time that said Crippen might have to do a spacewalk to chck on the tile damage.taneal1 quote:Originally posted by Lunar_module_5:In the 1983 documentary "John Young - The Ultimate Exporer"This documentary is nothing I've ever heard of!

Shows Youngs early life, onto his Navy career and onto his Gemini/Apollo/Shuttle flights.Was made as part of "The World About Us" series.Young gave several interviews to the film crew. It lasted an hour, and I still have it on video. Hope that helps!
