6 June 1966: Cernan conducted America's second E.V.A., the first intended to accomplish useful work, including flying the U.S.A.F.'s Astronaut Maneuvering Unit; there were inadequate handholds & footholds for the tasks required & Cernan's pulse soared; his visor fogged over, a genuine peril, & the E.V.A. was ended early; they splashed down in the Atlantic & were recovered by the U.S.S. Wasp.
