Fogged Windows. The space doctors' worst fear-that the cold-plagued astronauts would suffer ear damage during re-entry-was not realized. As Apollo's cabin pressure was raised from the 5.3 Ibs. per sq. in. maintained during space flight to sea-level pressure of 14.7 p.s.i., the astronauts protected their ears by removing their helmets and performing the "Valsalva maneuver" (named for its inventor, the 18th century Italian anatomist Antonio Valsalva). Holding their noses, closing their mouths and trying vigorously to exhale through their nostrils, they forced air through their clogged Eustachian tubes to keep the pressure...
