Movie Camera Fails in Space May Be Sun Heat Cause
Gemini 12 astronauts Edwin Aldrin and James Lovell returned from their four day mission, with Aldrin’s 35 minute space walk partially lost to an unusable 16 mm movie camera. Officials cited extreme heat from the sun as a suspected culprit while noting sharp scalar footage was captured of Aldrin tethering and working at a work bench. The crew is en route to Houston for debriefing and homecoming with families expected later today or Saturday.
