I’ll bet the crews really appreciated how roomy it was inside.
Though, when I was inside the Salyut 6 replica in Moscow, it was a lot roomier inside than I was expecting.
Funny, that’s the first thing I thought when I saw it. The ISS seems like nothing more than a big hamster maze in space. Tunnels only, no rooms.
It helps that they’re using a converted S-IVB hydrogen tank and using a Saturn V to launch it.
Was it on this blog (or maybe it was totally in my imagination) that I read that Syd Mead was consulted in the Skylab interior design?
*le sigh* I miss the ‘Fred’ Space Station design, and all the others that were built on using the STS-ET as a basic building block. 🙁
