Lines: 11 Anyone remember the Man Out Of Space Easiest (MOOSE) project? As I recall, this was a 60s effort to develop a reentry vehicle usable by individuals. It comprised a spacesuit, something to generate a foam heatshield (inflated in the fashion of a life vest), a retro pack, and a parachute. Seems to me it would be useful for certain space shuttle emergencies. -- D Gary Grady (919) 286-4296 USENET: {seismo,decvax,ihnp4,akgua,etc.}!mcnc!ecsvax!dgary BITNET: dgary@ecsvax.bitnet
