This is the problem with DR...
> While those distances may appear underwhelming, it is still an astonishing feat by Shepard
> The pressurised suits severely restricted movement, and due to their helmet's visors they struggled to even see their feet.
> I would challenge any club golfer to go to their local course and try to hit a six-iron, one-handed, with a one-quarter swing out of an unraked bunker.
> Then imagine being fully suited, helmeted and wearing thick gloves. Remember also that there was little gravity to pull the clubhead down toward the ball.
> The fact that Shepard even made contact and got the ball airborne is extremely impressive
- sebmellen 6y agoThank you, I missed that part of the article entirely. I was on my phone, and scrolled down to read the article, but those images took up a large part of the screen and I sort of half-consciously took that to signal the end of the article, thus prompting me to ask here.
- cooperadymas 6y agoIt happens. NBD. My initial response was perhaps more snide than I intended, I should have at the very least ended it with a smiley to show I was only being playful. FWIW I don't feel your comment deserves to be downvoted, and this one where you acknowledge it certainly does not.
