Oct 14, 2019 at 11:38 | comment | added | user3067860 | @KalleMP Presumably some more of that magic computer override, "NASA built everything to operate in the most general way possible" stuff... Instead of "lower pressure to match external sensor" just "lower pressure to arbitrary value (which I will happen to set to be very low)". | |
Oct 14, 2019 at 10:20 | comment | added | KalleMP | How is the concept of NOT evacuating anything on Mars handled in the text. All spaces should be either breathable air or Martian atmosphere. I doubt that there would even have been pumps, regulators or controls to evacuate in normal use. Is the term evacuate here used loosely to mean cycle to Martian atmosphere. How low is the pressure brought to in practice when switching atmospheres? | |
