They can move around after they switch from launch to spaceflight config. Apparently they also have some exercise gear for the journey.

- ge96 6mo agoIt is just the capsule though? There's no stage under them/another cylinder? Module Trying to imagine how big the thing is like 10x10 feet room
- NetMageSCW 6mo agoJust the capsule - there is a module but it can’t be reached and is for more engines that they will leave behind.
- NetMageSCW 6mo agoABC News says 330 habitable cubic feet or about the interior space of two minivans.
- JumpCrisscross 6mo ago> ABC News says 330 habitable cubic feet or about the interior space of two minivans I did lockdown in a ~450 sq. ft. Habitable under 400. Partner. Cat. Me. The astronauts will be fine.
- ls65536 6mo ago~450 square feet, with how many feet in the third dimension? You probably had an order of magnitude more volume than 330 cubic feet there.
- JumpCrisscross 6mo ago> You probably had an order of magnitude more volume than 330 cubic feet there I’m 6’, so that’s the usable volume. (I’m not claustrophobic heighwise.) I honestly don’t see an issue spending a couple days with folks I respect and admire in close quarters for ten days.
- fgfarben 6mo agoYou don't get it. Your 400sqft apartment needs to be shrunk by a factor of 6 to have the same area as the Orion. Try living in an 8x8 foot square for a couple weeks.
- JumpCrisscross 6mo ago> You don't get it Have you ever been on a boat?
- ge96 6mo agoThe boat you can step outside of, have a sky
- JumpCrisscross 6mo ago> boat you can step outside of, have a sky Not in a storm you can't! Granted I didn't do ten days. But I was with two other people for close to a week and it was...fine. We're old friends. There were moments it got annoying. But it was never boring or restrictive. We just played games, drank, looked out of the portholes, cursed hangovers and talked the one person who occasionally wanted to call it.
- ge96 6mo agoYeah that sounds fun and closed spaces can be cozy too, at least especially when there isn't certain death outside
- fgfarben 6mo ago> Have you ever been on a boat? What is a "boat"?
- NetMageSCW 6mo agoThat’s unfair as well - in space, more of the volume is usable. Perhaps equivalent to 2X 1G volume would be fairer.
- TobTobXX 6mo ago330 cubic feet =~ 9.3m²
- jerjerjer 6mo agoA cube with an edge of 2.1 meters.
