I wonder why no one has thought about making pop out wings with a parachute and have the booster glide to the land and touch down in a giant fresh water pond or lake. Wing size is determined by the weight of the object. Making enough space inside the booster increases the weight, it also adds a complex system to the booster which is more expensive and additional failure modes. Also means more fuel is needed which means its more expensive. Also you'd need a system to control, pitch, roll and yaw. $$$ |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Hesperus: Geeze Louise, looks like they are crammed in those Soyuz's with a broomstick. Funnily enough one of the 'features' of Soyuz is a stick that the crew uses to push buttons on the control panel, because it's too far away to reach by hand. I'm not sure if that's always been a thing, or if it's a consequence of modernizations to Soyuz that changed something about the control panel or seats. In defense of Soyuzs cramped quarters, it has a whole separate 'orbital' module that the cosmonauts can hang out and work in. It's not huge, but it about doubles the habitable space. The reentry module is very, very cramped, though, and puts some pretty hard constraints on crew size. For some ISS missions the orbital module is also pretty crammed full of supplies, but the Russians have gotten the time from launch to docking down to something like 12 hours or less under ideal conditions, so it's not horrific for the crew to stay strapped in. Just make sure you poop before launch! Edit; an okay cutaway showing the orbital module on the left, reentry module in the middle and the service module on the right. Only the reentry module returns to Earth.  Attached File |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By midcap: So you just shit yourself? sounds like fun Astronauts have been shitting themselves since the dawn of manned spaceflight. Every astronaut on a space walk? They're wearing a diaper. Every astronaut strapped into a capsule waiting to launch? Wearing a diaper and probably already pissed him/herself because they've been suited up for hours before they even launch. Gemini 7 lasted 14 days. Think about that. Two guys strapped into seats in a space about the size of a small sports car interior for two weeks. No toilet. They basically had to wiggle their pants off, apply a special bag with self adhesive strips to their ass, shit in it, toss in some antibacterial goo pills, mush it up and put it in storage, presumably while the other guy did his level best to look out the window and pretend he wasn't where he was. And that doesn't even consider that basicly all astronauts get profoundly motion sickness for the first few days of space flight. Space travel is glamorous.  Attached File |

They 'take care of business' and then suit up about 4 hours before launch, an hour after launch, they're in a constant slow-rising orbit. (think you can now take off your seat belt sign on a commercial airline). However, they do still wear space-rated depends just in case.  |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Local: Gemini crews rode in ejection seats, so probably not an option. Once in orbit no gravity, so they could just unstrap and float up and do the needful. The same basic thing was done for Apollo missions, though they had a bit more room to maneuver. Still, mistakes were made.

Yep, still frozen bags of 'poop' on the lunar surface.
I was 'challenged' about that claim. Easy to look it up. 14 days in Gemini, that would have been rough, good thing they had their 'Tang', who's old enough to remember That Commercial! |
