Sick astronaut looking better

From Times Wire Reports

Shuttle Atlantis’ sick German astronaut looked and sounded well as he helped a crew mate prepare for a spacewalk that should have been his.

NASA pulled Hans Schlegel off the spacewalk to help install the European lab, Columbus, at the International Space Station and delayed the work until today.

Even though Schlegel did not look sick, spacewalks are strenuous and an astronaut needs to be in top form.
