Take those old ideas of space capsules being small and cramped and throw them away. SpaceX has revealed a prototype for the new cabin design, and this new one can house up to 7 astronauts, the same number the former shuttles could hold. This will not only optimize the usable space within the capsule, but also reduce the overall weight of the structure needed to house the crew, leaving more weight for cargo and fuel.
While testing and assessments are still underway, this newly designed space capsule is sure to impress astronauts and engineers alike. For more information on SpaceX and the Dragon spacecraft be sure to visit www.spacex.com
