    I thought one of the reasons Willie , especially when EVAs were in progress
    was to keep the underside towards any threat from debris / dust etc...thus
    giving someprotection to the walkers.....I suppose it makes sense to keep
    the underside facing any "threat" , but no doubt someone can correct me on
    this.
    
    Going back to my ealier comment , I am wondering now if the underside down
    attitude happened whilst they were in free drift for some of the
    experiments.
