I thought they looked a lot like the photo Jeph tweeted of the seats on his flight to NZ. https://twitter.com/#!/jephjacques/status/154797932485414912

I'm thinking after Marten's hard time recently he's just going to end up space-crazy and murder everyone.
Everyone will just be surprised it wasn't Hanners.
(That's some crazy awesome plane seat.)
Throg:
Jeph flew first class to Australia / NZ? Damn skippy.
If Spaceship has enough RAM to run a holograph with body language (leaning on a seat, making gestures) then it damn well had enough memory to render pants the first time. I call shenanigans. There can be only one explanation: it was FLIRTING.
(no no that's not shipping put down the banhammer put it down please)

I dunno. Unless the burn-through was right in front of your face you'd more likely die from lack of air than too much heat, so several seconds is more likely. Since most of the heat of re-entry is dumped into the underside and leading edges of the lifting body the odds are burn-through wouldn't happen in the passenger cabin, so I'd say the ship has the right estimate.

We've all negleted the delay between when the catostrophic failure occurs and actually realizing that you are feeling terror.
The idea of "You'll never know what killed you" is probably a little closer.
