Camping in Space

Sunday April 2, 2006
As a test of reducing the time it takes to avoid decompression sickness after space walks, astronauts Bill McArthur and Jeff Williams will be camping out for the night before their April 3 excursion. Unfortunately, they will be roughing it with cold s'mores and no bathroom for the night. If the test goes well, camping out for the night will be used prior to future space walks.

Pass the S'mores Please
