So you train 3 members of the shuttle crew as emergency deorbit specialists.
isnt soyuz pretty automated anyway?
Or you train many of the shuttle crew for station emergencies, thats probably a
wise move in any case.
what do the couches weigh? I thought they were foam inserts that weigh little?
or the station could stock some generic you will survive couches for emergency
deorbit only.
HAVE A GREAT DAY!
