Let's go with
an octagonal descent stage.

:14:09
A round one's gonna end up being
more trouble than it's worth.

:14:21
Bob, how much do these windows weigh?
:14:24
- I don't know. A couple ounces?
- Bob.

:14:26
- The real ones?
- Yeah.

:14:27
Five, six hundred pounds at least.
:14:30
- Really?
- Yeah.

:14:34
- Do we need 'em?
- Yeah, Tom.

:14:36
I think the astronauts
might wanna see where they're going.

:14:39
Do they need windows this big?
:14:45
No... Of course they do.
:14:47
Otherwise they wouldn't be able
to see from their seats.

:14:58
- What?
- What if they don't need seats?

:15:03
They have to have seats, John.
:15:05
Why? They can fly standing up.
:15:08
- Yes, but they have to land.
- In 1/6 gravity.

:15:11
And legs are great shock absorbers.
:15:14
If they were standing,
they'd be a lot closer to the window...

:15:17
which would increase their
field of view...

:15:19
which would mean we wouldn't need
such big windows in the first place.

:15:22
- What do you think?
- Well, I think it's interesting.

:15:26
But I don't really see it.
Sorry.

:15:30
Good try.
:15:38
Let's help him see it.
:15:51
What the heck is that?
:15:54
What we did instead of sleep.
