I've seen the ones they've got in the MCC and
they're good plain old headsets. I don't see
any reason why we can't get one that stays on
your head and stays in your ear.
You put this
thing on and it pops off about two minutes later.
It's not built to stay on my size head and I
noticed it didn't stay on Jim's very well eit~er.
I think the portable headset idea is a good
idea, but we ought to have a good headset for
it . Okay.
As we mentioned earlier the cabi n
pressure relieved at about 5.5 and held that
way during launch. It went back down to 4.9
or 4.8 and this is where it stayed for the re­
mainder of the mission.
I think that they prob­
ably overshot their zeal to correct the cabin
pressure that John and Gus had had on GT-3 and
put ours down so that it was actually relieving
lower and sealing lower than it would have been
desirable. I was expecting it to seal up around
5.5 or 5.7 like it was advertised.
I checked my suit gage against the cabin pres­
sure g-age and my suit €8,ge read higher than:
the cabin pressure gage by about .3 of a pound.
