They could add a water tight cap to both ends. But this gets into weight / stress issues.

PS: Being literal rocket scientists I a going to assume landing is a much more workable design.

What both ends? :-) This is a rocket, not a plastic tube.

And who plugs them, and where. In space, before landing?

This made me laugh out loud.

I think that one of the great things that comes out of this is that we start using our imaginations and trying to understand the whys and hows of space travel. It's really exciting to see.
