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.
:16:08
Well, John.
I can certainly see it now.

:16:20
Beautiful. I gotta call Joe Gavin
about the budget.

:16:24
One more thing: Thermal shields.
:16:26
Costing us way too much weight
in the descent stage.

:16:31
You know, I don't think we need shields.
:16:34
Right, Frank. It's gonna be 250 degrees
in the sunlight...

:16:37
and minus 250 in the shade...
:16:39
but we don't need thermal shields.
:16:41
Sarcasm's really helpful, Jim.
:16:43
I just mean...
:16:44
maybe we can use something other than
the shielding that's been used before.

:16:56
It'll look kind of like that.
