Every time I hear capsule, I recall that Von Braun scene from the Right Stuff:
"A pod"
Johnson: "A pot??"
"A pod... a kepsool. We would be in full control of zees pod. It veel go up like a cannonball and come down, er, like a cannonball but vis a parachute to spare the spaceman inside."
Johnson: "Spess-ee-men?"
