Re: Felix: Did He Actually Wear Two Chronos on the Jump?

Like many of us, I watched it live, and almost immediately after he landed, a helicopter landed close by and a photographer jumped out and took a lot of pics almost immediately. If this IS one of those photos, then he must have worn it on the mission under his suit. If we could see the re-run of the 'suiting up' footage, that may prove it. I didn't watch that part, so I don't know if he was filmed getting into his suit.

Just my own opinion, but I would have thought that he did wear two. One as his own, and one as a 'mission tool'/advertising. To me, this would make sense.
