Are you blind, Misha?

Throughout today's spacewalk, Tyurin has had problems with is Orlan spacesuit's sublimator system, which helps provide cooling. He also reported helmet fogging.

"Misha, do you see this?" Lopez-Alegria asked at one point.

"I'm sorry, what Michael?"


"Do you see the (sublimator) snowflakes?"

"No, I don't see anything," Tyurin replied.

"Are you blind, Misha?"


"Yep, I don't see anything. I don't see space, I don't see the Earth, I just see the guide here."

Despite the problems, the spacewalkers were able to complete the antenna retraction and later, Tyurin reported the sublimator appeared to be working better.
