	To the Stars through Difficulty...
		Suddenly, the Apollo 1 capsule was in flames, and there was nothing anyone could do – not even Stuart Roosa who was the CapCom (Capsule Communicator) that day.
		The Apollo 1 space capsule was consumed by a terrible fire in which all three astronauts perished.
		Stuart Roosa was Capsule Communicator (CapCom) when the emergency call from the Apollo 1 astronauts came.

		The same term is used for the spore-containing structure of mosses and liverworts; this is borne at the top of a long stalk or seta.
		Capsules burst open (dehisce) in various ways, including lengthwise, by a transverse lid – for example, scarlet pimpernel Anagallis arvensis – or by a number of pores, either towards the top of the capsule, as in the poppy Papaver, or near the base, as in certain species of bellflower Campanula.
		So it is with hybrids, for their degree of fertility is often found to differ greatly in the several individuals raised from seed out of the same capsule and exposed to exactly the same conditions.

	Brief Summary of MA-6 Oorbital Flight by Glenn
		It was sitting at an angle with the capsule into the booster pointed down maybe 30 degrees and the longitudinal axis of the booster angle maybe 45 degrees to my position so that it was pointed down and northeast.
		As I looked out to the side of the capsule the density of the field appeared to be about the same as directly behind the capsule.
		Another factor in capsule lighting is that you need to be dark adapted to where you can really make the maximum observation of the sky shortly after sunset, or determine yaw position from a cloud formation out the window immediately after sunset.

	Mercury MA-7
		As the capsule swung around from antenna-canister-forward to heatshield-forward, Carpenter was impressed by the fact that he felt absolutely no angular motion; his instruments provided the only evidence that the turnaround maneuver was being executed.
		He slewed his ship around to make photographs; he pitched the capsule down 80 degrees in case the ground flares were fired over Woomera; he yawed around to observe and photograph the airglow phenomenon; and he rolled the capsule until Earth was "up" for the inverted flight experiment.
		Then he saw that the capsule was floating rather deeply, which meant that it might be dangerous to remove the hatch.

	Nick Taylor - John Glenn: A Memoir
		The engines burned fuel at an enormous rate, one ton a second, more in the first minute than a jet airliner flying coast to coast, and as the fuel was consumed the rocket grew lighter and rose faster.
		At forty-eight seconds I began to feel the vibration associated with high Q, the worst seconds of aerodynamic stress, when the capsule was pushing through air resistance amounting to almost a thousand pounds per square foot.
		"Capsule is turning around." Through the window, I could see the curbe of Earth and its thin film of atmosphere.

	Capsule communicator - Wikipedia
		Con il termine Capsule Communicator (spesso abbreviato con Capcom) si intende il ruolo assunto nelle missioni spaziali con equipaggio dal radiofonista che tiene il contatto tra gli astronauti in volo nello spazio con il centro di controllo a terra.
		Sin dall’inizio dei voli umani nello spazio venne ritenuto di fondamentale importanza, sia per la NASA che per gli astronauti in volo, di comunicare con una sola persona e di canalizzare pertanto tutti i colloqui tramite una sola via.
		Via Capsule Communicator vengono trasmesse tutte le istruzioni del centro di controllo agli astronauti, come pure devono essere assunti dal Capcom i Wake-Up-Calls giornalieri, cioè la segnalazione ufficiale dell’inizio della giornata lavorativa tramite trasmissione di saluti personali nonché di qualche apposito brano musicale.

		In that case, the crew would use the launch escape rockets mounted atop the command module to jettison their capsule from the rest of the Saturn V and make an emergency landing off the Florida coast.
		Over the communication system, Aaron gave the command, "Flight, try SCE [Signal Condition Equipment] to Aux." Neither Pete Conrad aboard Apollo 12, flight director Griffin, nor the capsule communicator (CapCom) had any idea what this obscure command referred to.
		Had they failed, the capsule would have struck the ocean at a speed of 300 mph (480 km/h) killing the crew instantly.

		This caused a substantial roll error as the capsule began its turnaround.

		Eliot See, who was selected in the second prestigious group of astronauts (often called “the new nine”) in 1962, served as a backup, along with Neil Armstrong, for the 8 day Gemini 5 flight.
		He was also the capsule communicator during Gemini 6 and 7.
		After serving as backup on Gemini 5, he was thought to be the logical choice for the Gemini 8 flight with Armstrong, but Chief Astronaut Deke Slayton considered him too weak physically for the planned EVA (ironically because of an abort early in the mission no EVA ever occurred on Gemini 8).

	Travel: The thrill has come
		The extra pushes of gravity are marvelously synchronized to the pictures on the monitors, as well as to a hokey narration by the ride's "capsule communicator" who, at various times orders riders to push instrument-panel buttons "now!" in order to avert disaster.
		The first three are brilliantly colored while the moon is a dull gray, dotted with gold medallions denoting the locations where the 29 missions launched by the United States and the former Soviet Union have landed.
		Once inside, the potential riders pass a series of signs warning them they will encounter loud noises, spinning and "enclosed spaces": The side entrance doors to each four-person "capsule" close; then the capsule's instrumentation panel and TV monitors move nearer to the riders after the restraint bars are lowered.

	This New Ocean - Ch14-6
		From Guaymas, Mexico, Grissom, acting as capsule communicator, officially relayed the computer-blessed "go for seven orbits." Cooper, audibly impressed with the perfection of the flight so far, said, "It's great.
		The actual orbital parameters for Cooper's flight were proving so close to those planned that the differences were measurable only in tenths of a mile and hundredths of a degree.
		Then, too, the word "orbit" would become confused, because passing [497] over the same meridian on the rotating planet is not the same as passing through the space-fixed point of orbital insertion.

		For decades, the only way to communicate with astronauts was via radio, which had several limitations and relatively low signal quality.
		It can be built into almost any communication system, and can serve as a relatively inexpensive basis for communication systems that used to cost millions.

		In each capsule, riders are designated “commander,” “engineer,” “pilot,” or-my position-“navigator.” The control panel facing each position is an abridged version of the one installed on the space shuttle, complete with gauges monitoring atmospheric re-entry and cabin pressure.
		Intellectually, I know this is because the centrifuge has started to spin, but the sights and sounds in the capsule make the sensation of actually hurtling into space deeply convincing.
		Suffering from mal de mer but otherwise exhilarated, I exit the capsule and explore not the sandy Red Planet but the ride queue area nearby, which snakes under an original Apollo-era lunar rover, designed by NASA for training purposes.
