	From the More Thrust Book:   a marine takes up 4 CC for his
bunk, life
support, etc.  A marine in cold sleep takes up 1 CC but it costs money
whereas the human cargo is part of the hull cost to include his 4 CCs of
mass.
	This is where he lives.  To ride down he just takes 1 CC of
either the
lander or the vehicle inside the lander.  My thumb rule would be that
all
vehicles of sixe 4 or less require at least one mass devoted to its crew
(25 CC /4 = 6 crew members) and any vehicle of a larger size takes 1
mass
worth of crew per size/4 rounded up.

Gort, Klaatu barada nikto!
