Есть еще такой документ - отчет комиссии Кондона. Комиссия эта исследовала вопрос, имеют ли под собой основания всякие рассказы про летающую кухонную утварь. В частности, комиссию интересовало, что видели и чего не видели астронавты.
The Visibility of Stars
Satellite orbits are at a minimum height of about 160 km. where the "sky" above is not the familiar blue as it is from the earth's surface. Since the small fraction of the atmosphere above the space-craft produces a very low amount of scattering, even in full sunlight, it was anticipated that the day sky from a spacecraft would therefore display the full astronomical panoply. This was decidedly not the case. All the American astronauts have expressed themselves most forcefully that during satellite daytime, i.e., when the sun is above the horizon, they could not see the stars, even the brighter ones. Only on a few occasions, if the low sun was completely occulted by the spacecraft were some bright stars noted. The inability to observe the stars as anticipated is ascribed to two reasons; (1) the satellite window surfaces scattered light from the oblique sun or even from the earth sufficiently to destroy the visibility of stars, just as does the scattered light of our daytime sky at the earth's surface; and (2) the astronauts are generally not well dark-adapted, as mentioned in section 5 of this Chapter.
Mention has already been made of the dispersion in star visibility during satellite night because of the smudging of the windows. Under the best window conditions the astronomical sky is reported to be similar to that from an aircraft at 40,000 ft. Under the particularly poor conditions of Mercury 8, astronaut Schirra, who is very familiar with the constellations, could not distinguish the Milky Way.

ЗЫ: Кстати, в записи радиопереговоров Уайта с Землёй однозначно сказано, что небо совершенно чёрное.
Совершенно очевидно, что Уайт не выходил в открытый космос, надо полагать... Не из-за этого ли его сожгли в Аполлоне-1? КРАСИЛЬНИКОВ ОСНОВАТЕЛЬ БОЛЬШОГО КОСМИЧЕСКОГО ОБМАНА США
