Question...

Hiya, Raoul, and welcome back Kim.

Anyway, regarding Apollo 13... In preperation of going to see it tomorrow at IMAX (BTW, only 40 days until Attack of the Clones!), I made my girlfriend sit through the VCR version with me tonight.

During the scene when they were putting the helmet on Jack, my girlfriend asked me what happens if he sneezes and covers his FOV with "jet blast"....

I laughed at first, the silliness of it. Akin to the "bathroom in space" question, sorta. But really, if an astronaut on EVA today DID do that, is there some way for him to clear his face plate?
