Decision to press since his suit pressure is holding and they are in clean up.

Thx. Wifi is barely usable where I'm at now, and can't even listen to audio feed.

Talk about a sideways EVA...this is starting to look a lot like Apollo 16 when John Young and Charkie Duke broke just about everything they touched...Mass is starting to sound a bit pissy...I don't know if he was going back in the rotation or not, but I can't see him flying again...
IMHO, totally uncalled for on two counts. First, Mass has been sounding far less annoyed than most anyone, including myself, would sound in the same situation. Second, Young and Duke broke exactly one thing by accident, the HFE cable. (Well, OK, a rover fender came off, but that happened on all three J missions.) Anything else on Apollo 16 that performed below spec was because of poor design or manufacture, not improper use of the equipment or accidents.
