It was very clear from this Press Conference that the astronauts were either "told" to say, "everything was fine", and "the work load was too light" and, "I was feeling fine", OR they were extremely careful with everything they said to make sure they didn't say anything that might make NASA and Air Force directors think they were weak candidates for future flights if they showed ANY sign of weakness or trouble. Because they had a horrible time with this EVA. Almost everything went wrong. The suit's cooling system was insufficient and caused Cernan's visor to completely fog up right from the start - to Cernan's racing heartrate that nearly caused them to abort the EVA - to the suit being SO stiff he could barely move causing extreme exhaustion. In fact, the suit was so restrictive and Cernan was SO tired by the end of the EVA that there was genuine concern that they weren't going to be able to get him back inside the capsule for reentry. As well, Cernan broke off an experimental antennae on the capsule during his EVA. The bright side was that due to all these failures of this EVA they gained a HUGE amount of information that made future EVAs much more improved. In all honesty they probably gained MORE experience from the failures of Gemini IX than if everything had gone smoothly. So it was a good thing in my opinion. Just found it funny how, to the press, "everything was fine".
