Apollo 7

Hi,

I was over in S.S.S reading a thread about how Wally Schirra refused
to wear his helmet during re-entry on Apollo 7. Can anyone shed some light
on this incident? I remember reading somewhere that the A7 astronauts
became upset with mission control at some point in the mission and then
became un-cooperative for the remainder of the mission. Was this part of
that issue?
