No , the cabin was about 53 degrees.
Somewhere in
there. It was a little over 50, and the suit was
rll!llling
Cooper
The sui t was rll!llling about 50 on reentry so the
whole thing was pretty cool.
Conrad
It was never hot at any time.
Cooper
When we opened our face plates the cabin was still
cool, the suits were still cool , and the snorkel
and vent when we did open them and both fans came
on after we went OFF of o
HIGH RATE, Repress and
2
both fans came on.
We were getting nice cool air
through . .. .
Yes, we have been hearing everybody
say, you know, boy you've got to get those suits
off, you really get hot in there.
You see and Gordo
said "Well come on we are going to be here for
awhile, we'll get the suits off" and it was
perfectly obvious that we were getting a good flow
and I said "Well, why don ' t we put our neck dams, on
and we ' ll leave the inlet snorkel open here and
get this fans running and see, just see ,
just sit
here for a second, because you get awful hot
getting out of the suit period.
And by golly
we were in good shape.
We could have stayed in tlut
