and interesting proposal is to
have a TV camera mounted in the helmet. The camera would "look out" the
visor (just like a cosmonaut would). It would definitely provide a

camera to view. Of course, a camera - leads to a requirement for a simple
orientation mechanism.

And they say mission creep is a NASA only phenomena.
