[net.columbia] Spacewalk at Least Postponed Again

sjb (11/15/82)

NASA today detected a bad fan in one of the two space suits to be
used in today's space walk.  The fan is supposed to circulate
oxygen around the suit while the wearer is in space.  Despite
efforts by NASA to get it working, it wouldn't, and they put
off the spacewalk again, noting the possibility that it could be
canceled from this flight.  The flight could also be extended
up to two days, or one astronaut could walk alone.
