them on and off in flight if you wanted to.
I don ' t know.
I'd hesitate to recommend putting
them on in flight .
It might get pretty tricky.
I think if you put them on in flight , you'd want
to put them over all the harness, rather than
i.mder the harness.
That ' s exactly what I was going to sey.
I think
if you took the life preservers off, you could
actually make the sleeves big enough so that you
could slip them on and velcro them across the
back over the harness. This might be for the
type of operation of throwing equipment in and
out .
I think in the future , though , a suit as
heavy as this might not be required.
The controls
and the switches in the suit , I felt , were satis­
factory.
There wasn ' t anything that I couldn' t
get at in the spacecraft . It was easier under
weightless conditions for me to operate certain
controls. In fact, I think I was able to get
down and unscrew the bellows in the gun hose as
well and maybe a little easier than you could,
Jim.
At least initially, I was able to get down
there.
Of course you weren ' t really particularly
trying to do it at that time.
