You ’re stuck for month inside a cramped tin can with a bunch of full stranger , with no somberness , fresh food or World of Warcraft . And yeah , you ’re forced to drink the recycled effort of your fellow astronauts ( oryour own pee ) . But that does n’t mean you ca n’t have your own stylin ’ unmarried man ( or bachelor girl ) pad in blank space . Check out the new digs being delivered to the ISS.Let ’s be true for a minute – living on the ISS pretty much wet-nurse . It ’s like the college dorm from hell ( after some frat boy broke in and stole all the gravity for the weekend ) . Terrible food . Noisy . Some random the great unwashed you barely know incessantly breathing down your neck . And utterly zero privacy . If it was n’t for the sheer awesomeness of being in outer space , no one would go . NASA expend $ 30 million develop new private rooms for the orbital platform in an effort to make things more endurable , and it looks like they succeeded admirably . Four of the new rooms will be instal ( two were deliver by Endeavor , with two more soon to come ) . Each one is tiny , like more of a loo than a elbow room , but it ’s unco soundproof and has a door . There are maulers for a log Z’s grip , a foldout laptop tabular array ( with foot anchors , so astronaut can pose comfortably ) , and velcro on the walls for attach home photos and girly calendars . Even though these new ISS cabins are roughly the size of a john drag one’s heels , I cerebrate they will represent a huge betterment in lineament of lifetime for the cosmonaut . After all , they ’ve got 250 lbs . of insulate polyethlene to protect them from dangerous solar flare radiation . What unmarried man pad can boast that ? Sadly , the ISS cabin threshold do n’t lock , and I do n’t mean NASA has produce a zero - G version of the sock - on - the - doorknob . ikon by : NASA.A space of one ’s own.[BBC News ]
