This is basically the coolest thing ever. I wish I had something more substantive to add, but that's pretty much it. Thanks, Brandon Blatcher.

Awesome. Strange how her legs moved in zero-g when she was "stood" still. And what was that eerie noise at about 20/21 minutes?

I agree with the Whelk. I almost can't watch it from pure, ugly jealousy. I love that Russian engineers clearly don't give a fuck about human factors design - they're all about cramming as much science...

Hey koeselitz, on Apollo 8, Williams Anders was mildly freaking out about the fact that anyone on board could open the hatch and kill them all. He wasn't going nuts or anything close, but it was...

Yeah, I am totally excited by this, but part of that is incredulity that human beings can put up with being in those situations. I mean, there are a lot of reasons why they'll never let me on the space...

My interest in space is pretty much the exact opposite of The Whelk's and can pretty much be summed up on most days as "blergh, space." I really, really did not think I was going to get through 25...

They're not really separate at all, smackfu -- there's no door or anything, just a change in size and technology. The FGB really is the functional "bridge" of the whole station. Given that there are no...
