QUESTION:

How long do you stay in the insulated suits you wear at take-off?

ANSWER from Jay C. Buckey on January 11, 1998
We have recently been training on this. My fellow payload specialist, 
Jim Pawelczyk, and I are responsible for getting everybody out of 
their launch/entry suits once we get on orbit. To get the middeck of 
the orbiter squared away and get everyone out of their suits takes 
about an hour and a half.
