Hi Gerald, >capsule", a comment that as far as I know was never publically addressed.
They were water ice crystals which had formed on the outside of the spacecraft. They were seen on subsequent spaceflights as well. The source of the water was from the heat exchange process which cooled the astronauts spacesuits and urine, which prompted a famous quote from Wally Schirra about the constellation "urion". -Walter Branch ______________________________________________ Meteorite-list mailing list [email protected] http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
