Space suits are flown on every mission. The most obvious emergency would be tile inspection and repair, if damage was suspected for some reason. An STS-32-specific problem would be a failure of SYNCOM to properly deploy; a human could apply a Volkov-style kick to various places, until the mechanism either worked or was *really* broken. A Shuttle is complicated enough that many pieces could potentially require in-flight inspection and repair. Whether *two* suits are worthwhile is another question. -- John Hogg hogg@csri.utoronto.ca Department of Computer Science, University of Toronto
