this astronaut and the sorry in the all white suit. obviously, this mission is inherently risky. mike, i want to go to you now. you know firsthand that the risks that these astronauts face. remember six months ago when that italian astronaut almost drown because of the water that got into this helmet. what is nasa doing, mike, to minimize the risk for these astronauts? well first, pamela and victor, thanks for having me on. john, it s good to hear your voice. they ve done a couple things. the problem that lucca, the italian astronaut, the problem he had, they re still looking into the actual cause of that, but they know whatever happened to cause the problem is a pump fan assembly that circulates air and water through the spacesuit. that got mixed, and floated, was forced into lucca s helmet area. that s what caused the problem. they removed that pump assembly.
