Default MR-4 and Grissom's couch

I've always wondered how John Glenn was able to work inside MR-4 when
it was outfitted with Gus' custom couch. Gus was only 5' 4"
tall...Glenn is 5' 10" tall. I suppose it was a "tight" fit.

Let's put it this way- to get his head down low enough required his
voice to go up a couple of octaves, if you know what I mean.
