All were wonderfully sarcastic though, except the Kirstie Alley version of Saavak. I mean who would buy into that voice. Plus she was showing signs of pushing toward maximum density even then with zero muscle tone. Poor physical fitness would never seem to be a Vulcan cultural trait.
 I just found this video on YouTube,
Tuvak Keepin it Gangsta
Fair warning it is a PG13 or higher video because of the Rap song language though nothing a mature adult cannot listen to unless they are predisposed to an easily-faux-offended personality type, but it is fraking FUNNY. If you start to watch the ending is really funny.
You can always go the the Space Museum in Huntsville, AL and see a full sized Sky Lab as well as sit in a Mercury (or maybe a Gemini??) capsule that went into space. I am pretty sure it was a Mercury. What was amazing is the construction. Yeah, obviously solid as can be, still there are so many exposed bolts and the seat is tubular metal, assuming a Ti-alloy, with a leather web netting as the seat and back of the only seat in the thing. I loved visiting that place. A very worthwhile trip to see the whole facility there as it has a 'space training' facility as part of the museum where, at the time, kids would do the Space Camp thing. |
That sort of seat with it being the only one, it was a Mercury capsule you were sitting in.
