... construction we try to simplify our design by making things in standard or modular sizes. Having different sizes of space modules will mean customized engineering and manufacturing, and that will drive up costs. A great thing about building modules of standard sizes is that you can connect them together like building blocks. The modules will be approximately ...

Spacesuits will be made to fit all body types. Inside the pressurized space station, spacesuits will merely be worn as a precautionary measure in case of emergencies if life support systems go down, pressure is lost, or to help with bodily changes that occur in zero-gravity environments. Clothing will have to be roomy to allow for changes to the body in zero-gravity environments. To walk outside ...

Almost certainly there will be a limited amount of weight and space that will be allocated to each passenger. Probably the carrier will take care of the essentials necessary for survival, such as a safe habitat, food and water, temperature control and so forth. You will most likely get to pack your own clothes and probably will get clean clothes each day. You will also want to take the things ...
