Ed, I'm guessing the hats chosen had something to do with their particular astronaut group?Thornton and Carter (both Group 10) are wearing the same hat, whereas the others are different (Group 6, 8 and 9). |

The photo caption does not offer any explanation. In other photos later that day some crewmembers pose with a Jack-o'-lantern in the white room. |
