Astronauts Kathryn D. Sullivan, left, and Sally K. Ride display a “bag of worms.”
The “bag” is a sleep restraint and the majority of the “worms” are springs and clips used with the sleep restraint in its normal application. Clamps, a bungee cord and velcro strips are other recognizable items in the “bag.
[A number of firsts in this image, and the mission, - the first American woman in space, the first American woman to walk in space and the first time the space shuttle carried more than one woman - ed]
