Man your off base, I don't care if he weighs 400 lbs,
( on earth) out in space he is weightless.

RE >> . In addition you obviously have not tried to test and run highly complex systems.
That is a "ad hominem" an asinine one too, being you don't
know crap about me. A licensed Master on his 5th issue
5yrs per issue, and it takes 10years experience

While I haven't had crap to do with space travel,
I can extrapolate a good deal from what I have
done.
I have wrote programs from scratch to handle
the Stability and Trim calculations
of Oil and Chemical loading of large tankers,
This includes calculating the righting arm and
bending moments, of a particular ship, to
any type of load.
& I doubt you have any idea of what goes into
that. I've also wrote navigation programs from
scratch, 30 years ago , for no other reason
than to just to be sure I could.
While I'm mostly retired now, some of my cargo
programs are still in use.
I'm not posting this for your benefit, in as much
