As the ASTP crew walks from the suit room to the transfer van on launch day (July 15, 1975), Tom Stafford's secretary Charlotte Ober pops out to give him a telephone so that he can receive one last call before launch.

Cool shot, Ed. Very reminiscent of the crew walk-out on Apollo 10.

70s fashion is so ugly! But A7LB-ASTP space suits are very cool! I think that Orion suits for launch-entry and emergency EVA will be very similar.
