That MAV experience does not sound appealing at all.
43 hours, standing up, no food, no toilet, no sitting down, no stretching your limbs. Riding on top of a metal rocket. Surrounded by millions of miles of lethal void.
- jahnu 11y agoSounds similar enough to some bus rides I've taken across Asia.
- MrZongle2 11y ago"That MAV experience does not sound appealing at all." I would have to agree, though once in orbit the standing up/sitting down thing doesn't matter as much as the stretching. I don't imagine the rest would bother the crew that much, as they had to deal with it just to get to Mars in the first place.
- phire 11y agoAbout 10min after takeoff there will be no gravity, so the seats are practically useless anyway. It's the pre-flight checks which will make the lack of seats a large issue, they need to be at the MAV at least 4 hours before launch and have the doors closed maybe an hour before takeoff (before that anyone not doing checks could sit in the rover)
