Ever get a close look at/in a Soyez capsule? It very much resembles an early diving bell. Cosmonauts don't sit next to one another, like in an Apollo capsule, they curl around one another like a wooden ball puzzle with peculiar straps, belts and such to keep them in their position.

From '67 are they? They look like something earlier than that. Positively archaic looking. They remind me of some kind of primitive medical device. You couldn't get me in one of those things for love nor money.
