The, uh, the ventilation system can't keep up quite with the heat loading that you're going through.

And then you have the heating on the outside, which is you're insulated somewhat, but you still get some of that heat transfer into the inside.

There'll be a little bit of adrenaline flowing.

But you're focused on the process, right?

You're monitoring the systems, you're monitoring your trajectory, you're making sure you're staying on target.

So there's that focus.

And remember, these guys have been doing this for years, and some of them have even military backgrounds in their background as well.
