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

I’m sorry, Dave. I’m afraid I can’t do that.

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....

This is moronic. Touch screen controls? Take a tablet with you and have a friend drive the car over a bumpy dirt road. Now, try to use the tablet’s touch screen. Your fingers will go everywhere but where you want them to. Now try it in a spacecraft experiencing 8Gs and severe turbulence. RIP, crew. The military and NASA use big, robust levers and switches for a reason. This “preview” has to be a lie.

Looks like their gave the design to art majors and not engineers. Call me back when their rockets stop exploding.

The metal edge of those screens looks like a great place to smash your skull open in micro gravity.

Wonder if that’s real or a CAD rendering.
