You can air-cool even if the air is a little thin, but 3psi isn't a little thin, it's a lot thin. Nobody air-cools at 100,000ft; there's hardly any air left at that altitude. (Nobody much flies at 100,000ft either; half that is a more typical ceiling, and a lot of military avionics is not air-cooled.) >ALSO in apollo were EVA's part of the planned mission? Yes, both on early flights for testing, and on the later lunar missions for recovery of film canisters from the SM survey-equipment bay. Not to mention a zillion contingency procedures that required that electronics continue to function despite EVAs or pressure loss for other reasons. -- MS-DOS is the OS/360 of the 1980s. | Henry Spencer @ U of Toronto Zoology -Hal W.

The Clinton group is in transition :-) to a more permanent setup. It is my understanding that the Clinton an Bush campaigns answered 1500+ questions each. In addition, all 3 of biggest candidates had some kind of presence on Prodigy, with 250k+ messages generated. Maybe someday there will be an bill@saxiphone.whitehouse.executive.gov mail address....... -- Edmund Hack - Lockheed Engineering & Sciences Co. - Houston, TX hack@aio.jsc.nasa.gov - I speak only for myself, unless blah, blah.. ------------------------------ End of Space Digest Volume 15 : Issue 434 ------------------------------
