Yeah, I'd want to be in that!

Woah! Ouch, that's gonna hurt!

The craft is way bigger than an Apollo capsule, but similar in design...other than the obvious dent in the roof. I saw one of the Apollo capsules in Washington and couldn't believe how small they are...and how close the heatshield is to the back of their heads.
