@colin_dunlap Good job! You deserve an award to encompass your entire broadcast. I know 2-6 isn’t your favorite time slot, and I would listen to your show at whatever time you were on air.
On January 26, 1960, Airman Bruce C. Barwise climbed into a B-58 Hustler Bomber escape capsule and was set adrift in the icy waters of Lake Erie near Buffalo to prove the Hustler’s life-support and survival systems could keep a crewman alive for three full days.
He spent most of the 72 hours curled in a fetal position inside the cramped, unheated capsule as winds whipped the surface and temperatures hovered near freezing. Barwise pumped out constant seepage with a small bilge pump, drew air through a snorkel when the hatch was sealed, and lost twelve pounds by the time the test ended.
When the capsule was finally hauled aboard he stepped out under his own power, still in good shape and ready for more. 🫡
