I hope they bring along plenty of duct tape. And a high quality duct tape not bought from China. Stuff comes in handy against leaks.
Can you do us a favor and post the same comment with a bit more explanation? I couldn’t follow everything.
The Gemini and Apollo capsules had no airlock.
Seriously though, making a 100% oxygen environment? Doesn't anyone remember the Mercury disaster cooking three men to death because of a micro-spark?
That's why I said what I did.
I get what you’re saying, but would the fighter pilot be the only one able to cope with 8 g? what about blood pooling in the remaining 3? survivable?

That was Apollo 1.
How many spaces engineers came over from Boeing to get away from the DEI culture?
Ironically, after the Liberty Bell accident, with Grissom, where they lost the craft because the hatch blew off, the Apollo 1 hatch had a double cover that made explosive bolts and instant hatch opening impossible.
Everything about going to Space is Risky.
Risky is lighting the damned rocket at the outset!
Thanks, guys. Unlike some here I appreciate the shoring up of the olde sieve. Death by Velcro...god Tang it.
I've been using duct tape to seal leaks on my old truck roof, leaks because of body rot. Regular duct tape breaks down within a month due to sunlight UV, so I use a foil type duct tape for furnaces that resists UV and holds up for many months. I know, I should just fix the body damage but it would cost too much. Up in outer space, not so easy to get a service person up there for repairs, so good duct tape would help. As for 100% oxygen, I'd recommend not scraping around a leak with metal tools unless the capsule is void of oxygen.
