Apollo Commander Cancels
Astronauts’ Space Walk
The Apollo 9 astronauts are testing a lifesize version of the lunar module shown above,
nicknamed “the Spider”. In a later mission, the module will carry two astronauts to the
moon’s surface. The lower portion of the module will remain there and the upper stage
will carry the astronauts back to their orbiting command module. (AP Wirephoto)

SPACE CENTER, Houston (A>)
— A space walk planned for
Thursday was canceled after
Apollo 9 astronaut Russell L.
Schweickart said he was “not
feeling up to par” as the result
of two seiges of vomiting earlier.
Public Affairs officer Paul
Haney said the Apollo 9 com
mander, Air Force Col. James A.
McDivitt, made the decision that
the “exterior portion” of the
planned extravehicular activity
would be taken out of the flight
plan.
Haney said McDivitt did plan,
however, to depressurize the lunar
module and the command module
and open the hatches of both
crafts. Schweickart also will don
the portable life support system
he was to have worn during his
space walk.
Haney said the change in plans
would not affect the scheduled
television transmission from
space.

been nauseated since two sieges
of vomiting struck him in the
morning.
Space officials earlier an
nounced that Schweickart had
vomited once before starting a
transfer from the command mod
ule to the lunar module and once
after he was inside.
The extravehicular activity
plans called for Schweickart to
open the hatch of the lunar mod
ule and leep out into space,
wearing the space suit Americans
will wear when they land on the
moon.
He was then to go hand-over
hand down handrails to command
module and stand up in an open
hatch of the mother-ship. This
was to demonstrate the astro
naut’s ability to transfer from
the lunar module to the command
module should the tunnel con
necting the two become blocked.
Despite his sickness, Schweick
art was able to move from the
command module to the linked-up
lunar module, becoming the first
American astronaut to transfer
in space from one spacecraft to

another.
McDivitt followed the space
rookie into the lunar module 30
minutes later and the pair gave
the moon machine its first man
ned space workout.
Schweickart and McDivitt spent
seven hours aboard the lunar
module before they floated back
through the three-foot-long tun
nel back into the command mod
ule.
Air Force Col. David A. Scott,
the third crewman, remained at
his station aboard the command
module, acting as gatekeeper by
removing the hardware that
blocked the tunnel as his crew-
mates made their transfers.
Three hours after Schweickart
and McDivitt returned to the
command module, Scott fired up
the rocket engine on the com
mand and service engine, attempt
ing to circularize Apollo 9’s orbit.
The burn, however, left the space
craft in an orbit of 148 by 142
miles.
McDivitt earlier burned the
descent engine on the lunar
module.
While McDivitt and Schweick
art were in the lunar module
they turned on a television cam
era, giving earth its first inflight
look at the cramped cabin Ameri
cans will fly to the lunar surface
this summer. The television trans
mission lasted only seven minutes
and voice communications went
^ bad during that time.
During the descent engine
burn, both Scott and McDivitt
reported seeing pieces of the out
er skin of the lunar module peel
away into space.
Scott later said the pieces were
only inches in size and officials
said they were apparently part
of the craft’s thermal blanket
and the loss posed no problems to
the crew or the mission.
The annual Baptist Student
Union’s International Student
Conference will be held during
spring recess April 4-6 at Camp
Lakeview near Palestine.
BSU Director Bob Burch said
several hundred international stu
dents across the state attend the
yearly event. He added 28 A&M
international students have al
ready registered.
Burch said the retreat gives
international students “a place
to go during the holidays and an
opportunity to meet other inter
national students attending vari
ous state colleges and univer
sities.”
“WE’RE NOT out to convert
anyone to being a Baptist, rather
we use this time to help inter
national students get an under
standing of what the Christian
message is,” said Burch. “It’s an
emphasis on hearing so they can
understand.”
A fee of $1.50 per person will
be charged for the first 50 stu
dents applying. Others must pay
