pretty easy to use as a trash can. The stowage
of the items of equipment in the footwell, to me ,
was not objectionable at all during launch and
reentry. The ventilation module which was stowed
on the left side of the right footwell was well
out of my way during these times and offered no
impairment to me whatsoever.
Something that was
a bit of a surprise to me was all t he equipment
we had in there, that we were not able to jetti­
son after EVA ,
I knew we were in for a bit of a
problem with so much equipment.
I think the stow­
age of the miscellaneous pieces of equipment
underneath your legs back up in the heel in back
of the stirrup area is . pretty good storage
for
almost all of the loose items during flight.
Jim and I had the ar ea just chucked full.
This was not any big su£prise. Remember how we
were talking about how we were going to put all
that stuff up?
We were going to put a big refuse bag in there.
We decided that the most likely place to put these
big items would be back underneath the seat be­
cause we weren 't going to keep our legs back
