The crew survival engineering team works on emergency equipment like life rafts, breathing systems, protective suits, even the diapers astronauts would put on during a catastrophic event.
I once asked Eddie Rickenbacker what was the biggest lesson he had learned from drifting about with his companions in life rafts for twenty-one days, hopelessly lost in the Pacific.
我曾经问过 Eddie Rickenbacker,他筏上与同伴漂流 21 天,无可药地迷失太平洋中,从中学到的最重要的课是什么。
Whenever I imagined myself stranded in the woods or on a life raft in the middle of the ocean, the panic I felt was about not having enough cigarettes with me.
