QUESTION:
What is it like up there?

ANSWER from Allan Meyer on October 16, 1995:
Many KAO veterans say it's more like riding in a submarine than in an
airplane.  Noisy, sometimes cold, always very dry.  Sometimes boring,
sometimes exciting.  Hard to eat - no table space.  At least everyone manages
to keep a good sense of humor about it (usually).   Hardly ever any scenery to
look at: occasionally a pretty sunset, but most of the time just black
outside.  The stars don't twinkle at all, because we fly above most of the
atmosphere.  Even though I wear thermal underwear, a flight suit, wool socks,
and flight boots, my feet get cold.
