Fantastic achievement it truly is but it's evident that the size of modules are limited to what can be balanced on top of a rocket or fit inside the cargo bay of a shuttle but can anyone tell me how unfeasible it would be to build a space station in space itself by sending up panels and parts in a flat pack type setup where the parts can then be assemble using a construction craft and space walks. Seems a station of any size and shape can be built this way instead of these cramped modules?
Your forgetting that there are small particles in space travelling at imense speeds, enough to break the windows possibly. Thats why as far as I know, they close over the windoes to stop the small paritcles.
because theres no wind outside to be pushing on the windows, therefore nothing will be forced on the windows or other objects. but if you hit a meteor (unlikely because the rocks and meteors arent close to the orbit.) the ISS will get owned.
they dont show you in the you tube videos or even on tv but they have and do grow weed on the iss for many reasons altho i dont think they smoke it LOL
