Waspie_Dwarf Posted September 11, 2013 Author #8 Share Posted September 11, 2013 166 days in a cramped pressurized tube surrounded by a radiation filled vaccum,my inner claustrophobe's worst nightmare... but my inner explorers earnest hope. It's not exactly cramped: The complex now has more livable room than a conventional five-bedroom house, and has two bathrooms, a gymnasium and a 360-degree bay window. ISS has an internal pressurized volume of 32,333 cubic feet, or equal that of a Boeing 747. Source: NASA, International Space Station, Facts and Figures And, as it orbits below the Van Allen Belts, it's not surrounded by dangerous levels of radiation either. I don't suppose that there are many submariners that wouldn't be envious of the conditions on board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
