I don't know for certain, but didn't Mercury, Gemani, and Apollo astronauts stay sealed in their suits?
Thus, what they were breathing may not have been the same as the capsule atmosphere.
The Space Shuttle is a differant shirt-sleeves enviroment.

BTW, can anyone who knows the equivalent situation with commercial airliners comment?
I seem to recall that their interiors Used (or still use) a lot of combustable materials.
From somewhere else, I got the impression that Aircrew have vastly more efficient emergency breathing apparatus, than that provided for the passengers.
Yet, with the option of AmigaDE which will support OpenGL 1.3 (Mesa 4.0) which is a cross platform high-level 3D API (Mac, Linux, Windows, AmigaDE etc), the future for you may, not at all, be limited.
Matrox G450/G550/ (850?) will be supported by AmigaOS4.0, along with the ATI Radeon, and this will likely be carried onwards to the AmigaDE which will run as an Application Layer on Windows and Linux.
Thieves would have an exceptionally hard time even working out how to turn on my computer.
It runs a real rat's nest of cables. It has two SCSI controllers. The hard drive inside the machine isn't set to boot, and its currently not even showing up.
Three hard drives run in two external cases (one is boot), and to switch it on at present requires the throwing of two switches on the wall behind; one on the side of this desk; and one on the front of a external HD case.
It runs an obscure architecure and OS (suposely dead since 1994) and has cables to all ports bar one (Mono video out)
The Internal floppy drive is a mess too; I use the external.
I live in Brisbane, Australia where a Electric Tramway system was in existance for the first two-thirds of the 20th Century. This system had started out with a much smaller network prior to 1900, horse-drawn initially.
It was expanded to be quite a substancial system.
The Lord Mayor of Brisbane during the Sixties never liked the trams...he travelled by limo, and trams passing close to his home may have been a Sound annoyance to him.
So he engaged an american Traffic Planner, with the result that our fine Tramway System that had grown through the years was scrapped, and replaced (in part) by a Southern, and City Internal East-West, Elevated Freeway System!!!

Its strange that the locals wholeheartedly take up activities that are declining in the west; things like smoking, etc, when THESE THINGS waste so much of their scarce money!!!!
--Of course, Western (mostly US & UK) Business actively PUSHES these products on them!
Examples like Powered Milk and Formulas where clean water is not universal, and the product is heavilly watered-down because of cost!
That really helps babies!!

You would just sit one of THESE down in front of your screen (or Screens),

This was supposed to 'boost' the signal for Dubbing,
but I think it also fixes Timing problems.
Before I owned a NTSC-capable TV I used this device
to process the Signal enough from a NTSC Tape on a
multi-system VCR enough to get an idea on a PAL Monitor
what was on the tape!
As long as I can feed a Composite Signal into THIS
device I can obtain a Processed Composite Signal out,:
EVEN as far as on 3 different devices as it is also
a 1-to-3 Distribution Amp!!!

The Boing-Sputnik POD design has it all! Round motherboard like the new iMac - Radical Radial drives - PSU at the apex, with enclosed drives underneath - and Cards plugged in at the base!

(If YOU don't know, look up what platform was FIRST with double-sided 3½" Floppies, Consumer-multitasking, 12Bit Colour, and 4 Channel-Stereo Sound that went "Boing!" "Boing!")
Okay! I'll concede that I'm using a highly obsolete Computer Platform.
My A2000 is a 1987 design, and my machine is over ten years old.
Current OS is AmigaOS3.5 which I've used for two years.
BUT..... when my machine crashes, it re-starts without complaint 99.5% of the time!
Some times it locks-up, so I resort to the three-finger-salute or I switch it off! No problems upon re-start.
Actually, there is NO shut-down procedure! As long as no drive access is occurring one simply switches off!
And..........I like the fact that it is so rare that no 'script kiddies' bother to spread any "Hi! I'm writing to you to ask your help" nonsense that would cause me grief!

People can go blue in the face argueing against that, but the facts remain that we breed farm animals and race horses to improve the breed.
As you argued; we largely are breeding the human race to a lower common denominator.
