Re: Speculation
All those capsules were small, even Apollo. I have been close to those at NASA in Houston.
That 'bomb' must have been pressure activated. I guess when you are riding on a rocket, which is basically a controlled explosion, a small bomb in your capsule is the last thing on your mind.
I still think the space program’s need for the small and lightweight is the reason we have personal computers that do not fill up a room.
I wonder what Gus would say about the space shuttle and today’s NASA.
