02. Is the launch exciting or is it just scary at first? Is the sound deafening, and will we need to wear ear plugs? Will we feel the blazing hot heat from the launch pad? (A K2S Question)

It's exciting to blast off into space. The loudness is outside the vehicle. The crew feels the noise through the structure but they don't wear earplugs. Occupants of the vehicle do not feel heat on launch.

Answer provided by Lt. Col. USAF (Ret.) William G. Gregory
