Dyna-Soar: 1964 report on testing pressure suit for X-20

At my request, the IIT Contrails project, which is creating online PDFs of
U.S. Air Force R&D Documents, has just been kind enough to scan in this
report: "X-20A Full-Pressure Suit Quantitative Performance," Report Number
AMRL TDR 64-36.

It was written by J. D. Bowen of the Aerospace Medical Research Lab at
Wright-Patterson Air Force Base.

If you're curious about the suit intended for Dyna-Soar, see
http://www.gl.iit.edu/wadc/DigitalCollection/1964/AMRLTDR64-036.pdf
for the report.

For more information on Contrails, visit http://www.gl.iit.edu/wadc/.
There's all kinds of interesting stuff there.

I think Bloody Viking stole that from me... well sorta.

My original prediction (up until 2004) was that it would be a Sox-Cubs WS,
7th game, bottom of the 9th, tie score, full count... and the Universe would
end since there would be no way to resolve that paradox.

But alas (err, fortunately) that is no longer an issue. The world is safe
for now.

(Have I ever mentioned my theory on how flying saucers and cats and butter
are related?)
