22 October 1968: The acrimony between the crew in orbit & Mission Control in Houston reached its nadir when Schirra, Eisele, & Cunningham refused to wear their helmets during reentry; the unnamed Command Module splashed down in the Atlantic & was recovered by the U.S.S. Essex; the C.M. was the centerpiece of a parade float in the festivities surrounding the Nixon inauguration in January 1969.
