Absolutely not possible for commercial guys to do that. I've been told that right here on FR. /s

I may nap up and wake up in time for the launch. Power naps are great. And I'm getting better at them, with practice.

Slightly larger than the Apollo capsule. The rocket is nowhere near as big as the Saturn, but they aren't going to the moon.
