It is good to see hard working great minds of engineering come together and accomplish thing like this.
This is what I call brave people and who know what it is needs to be done; looking at this makes me happy to know there are still smart people in the world.
Merci

Yeah, but wait'll someone smokes a couple of cigarettes in it, the dog barfs on the way to the vet, the kids spill a milkshake on the floor mats, and the inside of that capsule will smell like a '67 Buick in no time...........

Ya know, I bought a used truck in January. Now that things have warmed up, I think you just explained what must have happened in this truck!

I had a '93 Mazda once and a gallon of milk leaked about a half a pint into the carpet on the way home from the store, and I didn't realize it until the next day. And it was summer. It took over two years to get the smell of curdled moo juice out of the car.

It may also explain why nobody's ever sent a Turk into space.

I doubt it’s that bad. They have some nice filtering going on. I’d like to see a good mix of women and men on there.
Frankly, I think the ISS is the best human accomplishment since Apollo. We have set things back a bit, but I am thrilled we have it up there.

Actually is better than Mir was.
It is just psychological pressure you have to deal with, I can tell you though, they are some tough people be in space for so long, is like going on submarine, takes tough to conquer fears.
Merci

Hey,
Klaatubaradanikto .....
Those astronauts can't smell that bad -- they stay fresh, somehow, sorta.
They've got sonic showers or something, don't they? :)
