Yes, it ' s white.
I felt that this wasn' t quite the thing to grab
onto, this was at the ti~e when I want ed to get
out at about 10 or 12 feet directly in front of
the spacecraft. I certainly had the urge to hang
onto the antenna and push myself out. But I
didn't and ther e really wasn't anything to hold
onto .
You really need somethine to stabilize
yourself. I worked around the open hatch.
Let me ask you a question?
How about putting
the hand-hold inside of the nose cone? A fairing
is up there for launch, just the fairing.We could
mount a hand-hold right inside.
I think we could have rea'lly made som,~ money if
we had had an attachment for the tether out there
right on the nose o.f the spacecraft.
Strong the tether out there and then attached
there?
Right .
Rave a seoond attach point and put it
right out there. It would give you something
to hold onto out there.
Yes .
There wasn't anything to hold onto o~ the R & R
Section.
