Bye-bye spacesuits, hello crew bags.
I hope they at least have a handle on the top, so when something goes wrong
and the Space-Sea Rescue team of the Solar Guard shows up they can easily carry the egg to safety on their patrol ship. Or at least enough room you can kiss your A** goodbye and slowly die in peace..

When they said egg, I imediately thought of a rescue unit discussed in the
early shuttle design stages. There were the days of $10Million per launch, 50 launches a year. A shuttle malfunctions. another shuttle pulls up along side. They don't have a full set of spacesuits - so the crew of the dssabled unit are placed in bags or eggs and sent along a line to the rescur shuttle. Like a transfer betwen ships at sea. |

There's a deep-sea suit, similar to the JIM that has no feet or legs. |

Meanwhile, back in Moscow, the monitors of the Mars Confinement Experiment have realized that the reason the international crew of volunteers hasn't communicated with them for two days is due to the murder and cannibalism starting. "Do you have any idea what it's like to eat dehydrated turnips twenty-one times a week?" stated Yuri Jagovalot: "We our Russians; we need fresh and tasty meat." Vladamir Putin has been reported as stating: "Many went in...one...well fed...and powerful...shall emerge...he shall command the Mars flight, as I command Russia." On the Klingon home world of Kronos, the Emperor raised a blood wine toast in Putin's honor, stating that "This has opened a new era in Klingon-Russian relations." ;-) Pat |

The outside of the spaceship is made of steel, and you stick down to it with your magnetic boots as you walk around on it. Surprisingly, it wasn't von Braun, but Disney Studios that realized that legs on a zero-G astronaut were just about worthless, and came up with the far-more-logical "Bottle Suit" concept.* The Bottle Suit in action; this is probably the origin of the "Space Pod" in "2001": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gCK3q...eature=related *Although if you think I'm about to stick a red-fuming-nitric-acid and hydrazine pipe inside of a few inches of my head so they can power a rocket engine sitting atop my skull, you've got another thought coming. :-D Still though, the thing is a full-pressure hard suit, and that makes it miles ahead of our current technology, as there is no danger of getting the bends while using it...unlike our current low-pressure pure O2 spacesuits which require prebreathing O2 for around an hour to wash the nitrogen out of your blood.

The zip-up rescue cage-ball bags: http://www.astronautix.com/craft/reseball.htm You wrapped yourself up in there like a fetus in the womb, and hoped they would get to another Shuttle before your air ran out.
