130:10:08 Bean: Houston, Intrepid.
130:10:10 Gibson: Intrepid, Houston. Go ahead.
130:10:15 Bean: A real interesting thing has happened to that solar wind collector. It's been sitting out there since yesterday, of course; and, when I left if yesterday, it was just a flat sheet of foil - you know - restrained at both ends; but as I look out there now, starting maybe a foot from the top, it has sort of folded back around the pole that's holding it. Looks almost like a sail in the wind around the pole. It's sort of bulging in the front and being bent back on the sides. It's real crazy. (Pause: Garbled under Gibson)
130:10:50 Gibson: We've got a fairly strong solar wind, I suspect, Al.
130:10:58 Bean: You may think you're kidding; I don't know.
130:11:01 Gibson: No, Al. I won't think you'd be kidding. It could be, maybe, the front part of that is just thermally expanding a lot more than the back. The back's probably radiating and the front's probably very hot. And just a thermal difference across it could do it. I'm meeting with a lot of approval back here on that idea.
130:11:22 Bean: Yeah, well, it looks like it's wrapped around the pole...That's the funny thing. It looks like the wind is blowing on it.
130:11:33 Gibson: Well, we've got two good ideas, so far. Maybe we can come up with a third.
