Here's an interesting tidbit from "Peterson on spacewalks," an article about
STS-6 in the June 25 Flight International.

	Entry is milder than that of the Apollo capsule, with a 
	maximum of 1.6g "eyeballs down" being experienced.  The
	tameness of entry is emphasized by Musgrave, who was walking
	about and taking photographs while it was happening.
