The first American astronauts insisted on the installation of an extra element to their spacecraft. What was it?
ejection seat
safety hatch
extra parachute
window
The Early prototype Mercury spacecraft had only two portholes, but the Mercury astronauts demanded a larger window to be installed, not only for the view but also for the orientation. The latter proved invaluable on their last mission, when instrument failure required visual orientation.
