Martin EGRESS

[Orionblamblam]

I'm stunned to find out that, unless several searches failed to work properly, there is no thread for the Martin "EGRESS" (EMERGENCY GLOBAL RESCUE, ESCAPE, AND SURVIVAL SYSTEM) capsule. This was a modification of the ejection capsule used on the B-58... fitted with a heat shield, de-orbit motor and attitude control thrusters, it could be used up to orbit, with the ability to protect one or two crewmen through re-entry.

The best thing about EGRESS was this little detail in the concept art...

I've always wondered what it looked like. Seems a bit more than a modification given it's side-by-side instead of single seat though.

Dudes have big KSP energy in those expressions also.

Funny, in my line of work it’s the other way around

Words can not express the gratitude I have for this artist. He captured such realistic emotion to a space SNAFU. OOC how did this program relate to MOOSE ?

I lifted and modified that line from a Phil Hendrie skit. He did a voice of a TSA man and the...um...'slow' trainee who would get electric shocks if he failed to see the test-bomb in the scan:

"Uh-oh"
"Yes it's the uh-oh...you know what happens if you miss detecting this bomb?"

ZZZt "Ow!"

Then Phil would take calls from outraged saps.

Another bail-out
