Nick,
You are right, the helmet is not round but I think it is flatten on ears.
(not sure of my english...)
Earth is round:

Subject: [PanoTools] Partial VR from NASA helmet
NASA published a photo of the spacewalk on the shuttle recently, showing
the reflection in the astronaut's visor.
http://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/imagegallery/image_feature_380.html
For a bit of fun, I thought this was basically a mirrorball shot, so did
a bit of flipping around, and turned it into a partial VR giving an
astronaut's eye view of the spacewalk.
It's not perfect, there is distortion around the edges - I don't know if
this is a flaw in my method, or because NASA's helmets aren't perfectly
spherical!
