[i]And from Chaikin's "Voices From the Moon", quoting Pete Conrad: "I collect hats ... The other thing, which didn't make the flight, which I have at home, is a gigantic goddam hat, because everybody knew I collected hats, that I was going to wear on the lunar surface. But it didn't make the flight. It's a gigantic one to fit on top of the helmet. It was a blue and white ball cap, and it was all made to fit on top of the helmet. Somehow, the guys - It was fairly big, so I don't think they figured out how to get it on the spacecraft and get it by the inspectors." Ulli writes; "As the Apollo 12 LEVAs were left on the moon, Pete's original Charlie Brown cap is shown here on Armstrong's Apollo 11 flown LEVA."[/i]
