    This is a video of the space station as it is now, a full tour conducted by the now leaving commander, with the next commander actually in charge of the camera.

    Departing Space Station Commander
    Provides Tour of Orbital Laboratory

    In her final days as Commander of the International Space Station,
    Sunita Williams of NASA
    recorded an extensive tour of the orbital laboratory
    just hours before she, cosmonaut Yuri Malenchenko and Flight Engineer Aki Hoshide
    of the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency departed
    in their Soyuz TMA-05M spacecraft for a landing on the steppe of Kazakhstan.
    The tour includes scenes of each of the station's modules
    and research facilities with a running narrative by Williams of the work
    that has taken place and which is ongoing aboard the orbital outpost.

    It is indeed a complete tour, including the answer to the question that is never asked, where and how does one "go" in outer space.

    Enjoy.

    Really interesting thanks for posting Nev.

    Those modules were definitely not made for comfort or the claustrophobic, I still can't get over the sleeping arrangements then again with no gravity it can't really matter which one they sleep in, as for how they "go" in space I'm pretty sure the seated position would be hard yo aim at :blink:
