The seat in my bucket looks more comfortable

But without gravity, how uncomfortable could a seat be? :wink:

Yep, but have to wonder how many G's that think pulls on lift off?

Looks kinda small like a bucket. Dig the dual-dual pedals and joysticks with the fire control buttons. Also looks like a shop light hanging on the right seat upright,as well as a lot of loose stuff around the floor. Wonder where it all winds up on takeoff and initial rollover?

That shuttle was being decommissioned, so I'm sure some of that was hauled in by the team that was preparing to disassemble everything. It looked like a Dell laptop sitting behind the pilot's seat, as well. And I think there was a light hanging near that seat, too.

Ron, at those kinds of G-forces, no padding in the world is going to cushion the seats. :biggrin:

Aren't they on their back at launch?I wonder how much padding the G suits have or create?
