I was surprised they slept on the trip. I assume they took turns.



Not usually. They learned early on in the space program that in capsules, you don’t have enough sound isolation to make different sleep schedules work. My understanding is that they then plan on having the crew sleep at the same time.


No need, the burns are all scheduled and they can plan that to avoid doing anything while the crew is asleep.


Autopilot :)


Right? It’s basically a Tesla.


Yeah. Except autopilot is easier in space than on the road, because it doesn't have to take into account the multitudes of vehicles (and pedestrians) without an autopilot, just zooming around.


I mean, not yet. Someday, though...
