After <br />seeing what they did for Ham (chimp) they were very involved <br />and pushed for things that did incrementally advance what we knew.<br /><br />The mercury capsules had a window. Part of the whole spam in a can <br />thing was that's what they didn't want to be. So after causing some <br />pressure they go things like cameras, sextants, and a few tasks based <br />on available space. That applied for even the early suborbital<br />shots and paid off for the Glen ridge for three orbits.<br /><br />By current standard the Mercury team were not what I'd call<br />riding much but they made something of it. It was consistent <br />with what we didn't know for sure.<br /><br /><br />Eck!Eck!https://www.blogger.com/profile/13890237094647111653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924773307171301256.post-89966934635608736472021-07-21T13:00:13.709-04:002021-07-21T13:00:13.709-04:00My memory of spam in a can was the original astron...My memory of spam in a can was the original astronauts had no windows and no jobs. These clowns had windows and cameras. Why this made the lead news story while COVID is spreading like green corn through the new maid.

As was they are strictly passengers without <br />a stop this ride button. <br /><br />The upside is that by making sub-orbit they are adding a small <br />amount to the body of knowledge for reusable rockets and capsules.<br /><br />Comment on Mercury Capsule, it was crude but it was not without <br />its astronauts inputs. They were limited in what they could do<br />but for the mission [that was the key thing] they did do real <br />work.<br /><br /><br /><br />Eck!Eck!https://www.blogger.com/profile/13890237094647111653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924773307171301256.post-87421809187994776522021-07-21T09:06:54.783-04:002021-07-21T09:06:54.783-04:00Spam in a can was the original astronauts.

Don't have a thought about them billions of kg carbon ect you're gleefully spewing from the orifice of your penis rocket either, it's your money, right? Amazon is a person too.
