Clark, The angular motion would not be that high and it would be steady,and they will be going in the same direction at different heights, so it should be quite doable as that would make the motion less than what they see on the earth below and magnified shots of that are doable. As for tether motion and angular conservation and lack of hand holds etc, these are complications and not absolute barriers. With a long rope the man can go out a way and have the shuttle make a very slow turn with another man or two to act as rope handlers to avoid snags. As it tuned beneath him/her he would be able to take video or photos. If they have a digital camera they can download high res shots. The erroneous decision was to do nothing, to attempt nothing and to take a chance. Fatal decisions Bill
