...taking one of its prematurely extended solar-energy wings with it. A second wing jammed in a retracted position. The craft both overheated in orbit and was dangerously underpowered. But in the space age's first salvage mission, on May 25, 1973, Astronauts Charles ("Pete") Conrad Jr. and Joseph Kerwin entered the overheated space lab and rigged a makeshift umbrella to shade the vehicle's bald spot, then spent a harrowing four hours outside the stricken craft freeing the stuck wing. During a second manned mission, on July 28,1973, the lab's thrusters sprang leaks?and a crash program...
Balthazar's good works have not gone unnoticed. A few months ago, his alma mater, Loyola University School of Medicine, gave him its esteemed Stritch Medal (previous winners include Heart Transplanter Christiaan Barnard and Astronaut-Physician Joseph Kerwin). The citation called him "a beacon for others in his profession and a promise of hope." Also, a film has been made about his storefront clinic by a group at Southern Illinois University...
...experiments on the Air Force nurses shed no new light on a major medical mystery of the space age, which was described last week by Physician-Astronaut Joseph Kerwin: loss of 6% to 20% of the body's red blood cells in space and a delay in replacing them after returning to earth. "The plasma starts going immediately,"e; Kerwin told the American Academy of Pediatrics in Chicago, "and the red blood cells follow." Kerwin, who was responsible for medically monitoring his mates on Skylab 1, also found that loss of blood fluid-and muscle tissue-was so great...
...meeting with the press, the astronauts were enthusiastic about their experience in space. "It was a continuous and pleasant surprise how easy it was to live in zero-gravity, and how well you feel," said Kerwin, who attributed his own "dizziness" after splashdown to simple seasickness. Added Conrad: "I'd say very definitely that the average man or woman could fly in space." The only major change urged by the astronauts for future missions is an increase in the daily program of exercises from 30 minutes to perhaps an hour and a half to help maintain muscle tone...
