The time gap between these two photos is the same as the time gap between the end of WW1 and the first photo

Could we not have just airlifted the capsule up onto the aircraft carrier? Or all the way back to San Diego? Or have a net on the ship that could hoist it out of the water on deck? All that water stuff took a long time and seemed really inefficient. Congrats to the crew and everyone though!

60 years and we haven’t progressed at all
Looks like they’ve improved the heat shields

What are those spheres and what they are for?
How far we’ve come. Double the floatation balloons.
Wow the Apollo command module looks like scrap metal in comparison here. Made out of buckets from the garage. Orion looked like a ufo today
