 NASA engineers (left to right) Texas Ward, Louis DeWolf and Harry Clancy pose with Apollo Command Module 007 aboard the NASA Motor Vessel Retriever after a 48-hour flotation test in the Gulf of Mexico on October 1-2, 1966. They practiced what astronauts would do in case the spacecraft could not be located immediately after splashdown. |

In other words, they practiced using the barf bag? Sorry Ed, couldn't resist. I love to boast that I've never in my life gotten seasick, but I think 48 hours bobbing in an Apollo CM just might tip the odds! Here we have three guys with stomachs of steel! Maybe that's why their eyes are so blue! |

Nah, I think he looks more like Action Man or GI Joe than Ken. |

Yep, the guy in the middle is GI Joe. Just look at his kung-fu grip. |
