1.0 COUNTDOWN
The only problem during insertion was that I
fogged up again in my suit before we got the fans
on.
I think I'm just going to always fog up in
that suit of mine.
We turned the fans on quick,
but with the visors closed it doesn't go out.
We did have a problem with crew insertion on the
Wet Mock and I think we had that probably pretty
well taken care of.
They put us on the suit
loops and didn't turn the fans on. Normally you
wait for a clearance from the 1:t>acecraft Test
Conductor before you throw any switches. Well,
after we almost "died" of carbon dioxide poison­
ing during this +,est~ we got this matter
clarified.
As soon as we got in the spacecraft
and one of us was on the suit loop, we would go
ahead and cut the switches on to put us on two
fans.
We did this during insertion in the Wet
Mock. It really went well.
We really went for a long time in Wet Mock.
was beginning to wonder if I was going to have to
open my visor.
I was really uncomfortable.
