Has this been done

what about consumerism? Doesn't the state prefer us to spend money on empty calorie foods and become fat and unhealty so we can spend yet more money on vitamins, doctors, medications, fitness tapes and retreats, liposuction, and psychotherapy? And then levy a tax on all these purchases to boot? Then have us sink into ever-increasing debt so we can pay interest on our credit cards and home equity loans, which we become crushed by until the bank forecloses and resells the house and car at a profit? And then our wife divorces us so we can pay alimony and child support, to include private school tuition because the local public school has a 34% graduation rate?

say, where's my prozac? :o(

What's good for lawyers is good for congress and the tax system.

I'd try it with a cat and enough weight to equal yours first. ; )

Just a thought. Jerry isn't far from Hollywood, maybe Fox would make it a series and help with development.

Let's see.....250 lb. man on a bicycle seat enduring 5+ G's = goodbye seat. I'm sure they could surgically remove it though.

OUCH!!!!! ; )

Randy

Isn't there a site with X-rays like that? :-)

Or it could lead to a new tv show.... The X-Piles. ; )

Randy

I can get you some good video without you having to take the ride !

I have a contingent contract for that. Have yet to find a nose cone and a volunteer. Until now.

Or how about the Governor of California?

Well... it WOULD give new meaning to the term "astronaught." ; )

So the US and China have never out people in space?

Was he not a US citizen?

You know, if you're going to respond to a month old thread, you should buy a clue first.

To my knowledge, only Russia chose to eject the "passenger" when they had ejection chairs down pat, but not capsule recovery. I don't recall what they did with the capsule after the pilot ejected, maybe you could use a search tool to do some research.

Technically, I stand corrected. Gemini actually had ejection ejection seats. So yes, the US Gemini program could have recovered the 'passenger' under his own chute. Even then it's probably stretching the "passenger can open his parachute and land" portion of the question.

And it was pointed out that the shuttle, while able to allow passengers to recover under chute, could not recover under chute on it's own. Unless of course you count the drogue chutes during braking.

It appears you're the one without a clue. So here's one:

FOLLOW THE THREAD.

I don't need to do research. I know what they did with the capsule.
