Space Capsule
This retrieved capsule shows scorch marks caused by the heat of reentry. Elizabeth can be seen on the right-hand side. The capsule is larger than Jim thought it would be.

We were given a presentation on the new spacecraft. Above is a view of a future personnel module. The presenter gave us a visual description of how space toilets work--actually more information than we really needed!
