Hi
Its maybe offtopic but this enter my head when I read this letter.

When Shuttle and for example Mars Rover was on earth it was full of air. But
when it start, all this enter into space vacum, and again to Marst
atmosphere. This not make damage of equipment ?
Or maybe flight through atmosphere is long enough to fill it or remove air
slowly from all parts ?
Or they are closed in hermetic containers without air inside to protect them
in space ?
