Size matters

:anaut:Many years ago when I was in NZ I went to a science museum where you were encouraged to explore the exhibits, there was a mercury space capsule and spent heat shield so I got into the space capsule, not much room inside, I am 6' 4" tall and my head was sticking out of the hatch, those astronauts must have been no more than 5' 6"

Yeah, they're not the tallest of guys:D

I was reading about this recently. The lander was so small when they slept they had to arrange themselves around the rock samples or just sleep on top of them :scared:.

Being a geologist, you would imagine I've roughed it a bit....anywhere from the sides of mountains to creek bottoms:D:D

Been in the doghouse a few times too:P:P:D:D
