Your are right. This photo was taken a the Hydrolab in Star City. There is
a Plexiglas visor on the Orlan that protects the main visor from bumps and scratches. The water drops are just hanging on the inside of that protective visor. As soon as he's in the water he can see fine. Actually I think maybe he is getting out of the suit after a training run so everything is still we. Chuck "Gene Cash" wrote in message ...

That may be water droplets hanging off the outside of the visor. If you look in the background, I think that's the reflections off the water surface in the zero-gee simulation tank. -gc -- "Atheists view their theist friends with much the same feeling as nonsmokers do their smoking friends." -- David R.
