MSFC_v_bw_o_n (M61-2618-2)

You gotta start somewhere, right? A MSFC test subject/engineer appears to be testing the use of some common terrestrial/household/garage tools, while standing on a crude plywood low-friction air-cushion platform, to ascertain the action/reaction challenges astronauts might face with similar tasks in zero-g. Good old-fashioned rope, tied to his harness and anchored above, appears to be the safety/fall prevention mechanism - OUTSTANDING. And possibly an H-1 rocket engine up on blocks behind him?
