re: The size difference in the Apollo and Artemis II capsules is surprising

The Space and Rocket Center in Huntsville has an Appollo, Gemini and, Mercury capsule as well as a Sputnik. Just shocking how tiny they were.
Yeah, the Mercury capsule was like a freaking trash can.

So many questions... where do they keep the food at? Where is the toliet in the Apollo? Is there a wall by the toliet for privacy? How do they prevent shite from floating out of the toliet?
In Apollo they used urine tubes and shite in bags.
I read somewhere that the smell when that capsule door opened was really bad
Three men in the front seat of a Volkswagen Beetle for 11 days with no shower or bath and all bodily functions and smells contained in that space. Then the moon dust had quite a smell to it.
Astronauts returning from the Moon reported a distinct, strong odor upon opening the Apollo capsule door, often describing it as smelling like spent gunpowder or burnt steak. This smell, attributed to metallic, smoky particles of lunar regolith clinging to spacesuits, often filled the air immediately.
Apollo Capsule Odors:
Gunpowder/Burnt Smell: Apollo 17's Harrison "Jack" Schmitt described the smell of Moon dust as "spent gunpowder".
Intense Metallic Odor: Apollo astronauts frequently remarked that the lunar dust tracked inside created an intense odor once the cabin re-pressurized, likened to fireworks.
General Cabin Odor: Other smells included cabin air smelling of metallic dust, sweat, and the overall inefficiency of waste management systems.

Visited that exhibit last year. Seriously amazed anyone looked at that thing, knew it was going to at the top of one of the most powerful rockets ever made, and said "Yup, strap me in.".

Artemis has to account for the fact the average American weighs like 50 pounds more in 2026 than in 1972

No your fricking tard...one literally was ON the moon, one wasn't. Id imagine the engineering for 2 different missions could afford for larger since it only orbit.
And, standing bet...who's iq higher

Frank Borman experienced a stomach bug on Apollo 8. Had it coming from both ends for about 24 hours.

Considering I need a serious dose of Valium to get through an MRI, I don’t think I’ll be going to the moon any time soon.

Neither capsule will ever be on the moon.
They will use a lunar lander just like Apollo missions did, Mr. "High IQ".
Make this standing bet light on yourself.

Went there in the early 80s with my parents and siblings. Also visited Fort Sumpter. The rest of the time was redneck luxury at the Days Inn pool and one top shelf dinner at a Steak & Ale. Fine dining to me as a 12 year old.

I've been inside the Apollo module on the USS Yorktown at Patriot's Point in Charleston. It's unbelievably small.
Also, anyone wanting tourist ideas in Charleston, the Yorktown at Patriot's Point is a must. I can't over emphasize how cool it is, and I'm not even a WWII enthusiast.

So, aliens are the same size as humans? At least the black ones?

None of the identified alien races are black. No kangz in space.
