I am stunned theres so little discussion here about the space suit malfunction

Which reoccured again saturday...

too much water collecting in the suit, and it appears a attempted cover up.

CBS news had a insider leak about the water problem, everyone else went with all was well.......

Uh, no, NBC also reported the space suit problem, which was discovered
when the astrounauts were back in the airlock. And instead of covering
it up, NASA explained tha the slip of Monday's walk to Tuesday as being
due to getting the backup suit ready for the spacewalk because of the
water problem.

The link I posted to the NBC article is over in .station, where station
topics are typically covered.

But as usual, there is not a heck of a lot to discuss until there's
been more examination of the suits. Other than noting that the
snorkels weren't needed, the "early warning" pads never got squishy,
and the current understanding of the summer failure is that it was due
to a clogged filter; the early reports are that there is likely to be a
different cause for water in the sublimnator.

CBS indicated the decision to end the spacewalk when they did was connected t the water problem and made before they were back in the air lock......
