I wondered about that, too. I'm glad, though, that there was a little debris in the capsule, because it nicely delineated the free-fall portion of the flight (I just wish someone had left a pen in there to drift in the air, like Heywood Floyd's pen in "2001" :-) ). They're apparently planning to launch the first people next year (the basic vehicle is well-proven; even the booster used in their capsule Max-Q abort test last year survived, ascended normally into space, and landed safely, despite their expectation that it would go unstable and destroy itself), so the era of frequent space tourism may finally be at hand. |
