If it is spacecraft 101, that would be a block 2 ship. Interesting how they had the majority of the A7L suit ready for testing, even if the outer garments weren't ready yet (and they would be redesigned to use beta cloth anyway). Nice photo! |

Oh man, I just want to pull Rusty aside and say "You're going to feel really sick up there. Don't try to be still, move around a bit so you can adapt and get on with the mission and maybe land on the moon in a few years." | |
