Cool. Will they be giving free rides at the county fair? Trump did.

The capsule has seven seats for crew, made of carbon fiber and Alcantara cloth. What? No 'Fine Corinthian Leather'?.........................

Minux 3 would be a better choice. It can self recover even if a driver goes haywire.

What happens if you butt-dial “DEORBIT NOW” after docking with the ISS?

Ha....that seat support system looks like what someone would design as a school project to keep an egg from breaking when you dropped it from a second story building.
I guess the mech analysis works out. The occupants had damned well better be strapped in on reentry or liftoff, though....

How close are they to getting manned flight certification?
To: Red Badger
I was kinda thinkin’ Alpaca covered seats at least. Any of them have those shiatsu back massagers in them? I mean really. Did you ever look at the “seats” in the shuttle? Brutal.

If the seats fail there is backup, both struts under the seat will impale their back to support them.

People laugh at how old the old star trek looks, but by golly when you pressed a button you KNOW you pressed a button.

I really don’t know....it just looks like they have designed it to have minimum outer hull strength, etc. and opted for targeted point strength.....to me it just seems to be a ride meant to be experienced only in your seat and not floating around.
