Even more remarkable Marc when you consider Borman and Lovell sat

If you look inside through the open hatch of an Apollo Command module,
they aren't exactly roomy either and the wide-angled lens they used on
the TV cameras made it look much bigger than it is.

One of the russian guys at the same time, I forgot his name, said he nearly didn't make it back in. During the EVA something happened with the pressurisation of his suit and he couldn't fit through the hatch. His mate had to pull and shove him in the capsule before they could close the door again. Took over half hour and they were on track for re-entry.
