The interior of the ISS.
It's a total mess!!!
C'mon NASA, you can do better than this...

Between being in space and having those shitty laptops their WoW accounts must lag something fierce.

They have internet in the ISS? God, that was the one thing keeping me from taking the next shuttle.

I wonder what kind of orgies they have up there, microgravity opens a myriad of possibilities.

Looking awfully grimdark up there, NASA.

With all those wires and gadgets just randomly strewn around the station, all they need is a few skulls and a little less lighting...

As a complete non-expert in real spacecraft, I have to ask, why are there so many exposed cables and electronics just hanging around out in the corridor there?

Wouldn't it be better to have that stuff concealed behind panels or something to protect it? Especially in zero gravity where people need the walls for hand holds?

>> No.1419186

Panels are heavy. And astronauts are careful.

>> No.1419192

No because they don't even need protecting

I think that's because they have to repair stuff constantly.

the ISS wiki has no information I can find on internet space station, or a connection they use. maybe they conenct through direct radio waves because its distance is over 500,000 km in orbit, that is a decent way for any signal to travel without problems
