Comment

Smith: Comment: 3 sentences in length. 1. States general area of research and need (underwater simulation of space environment and astronaut training) . 2. States problem in this area (unrealistic training event, drag). 3. States specific motivating need for investigation.

Style: Direct, simple sentences. Avoids first person pronouns. Uses transitional words ("these testing conditions;" "As a result...") to give paragraph coherence. No figure given, however. Uses headings.
