Leonov's spacewalk film
I was reading in the bathroom when I ran across an item written by Jan
Philips on Sun, 24 Aug 2003 23:55:43 -0400, which said: I read that some of the film released purporting to show Leonov's spacewalk was faked. The footage I've seen looks real. Can anyone shed any light on this? Aha! So *that* is why the Soviets didn't squeal on us for faking Apollo 11! --------------- Beady's Corollary to Occam's Razor: "The likeliest explanation of any phenomenon is almost always the most boring." |

The footage I've seen looks real. Can anyone shed any light on this? ....When the Soviets released the footage, it contains a mix of real EVA footage and footage taken from a training session. Presumably the training footage was thrown in to hide Leonov's troubles reentering the inflatable airlock at the end of the EVA. Note that even *I* haven't seen the entire EVA sequence, only the snippets that have popped up from time to time. Hmmm...a Spacecraft Films Soviet Space series, anyone? Aha! So *that* is why the Soviets didn't squeal on us for faking Apollo 11! ....All kidding aside, I was hoping that when Jim revised _RSIO_, he would have included a frame-by-frame analysis of the Leonov footage so that one could see what was real and what was faked.
