    You know, the gravity pull in space where the ISS is, is only a bit lower than the gravity pull on earth, so the usage of 'zero gravity' through out this article is inaccurate. Anyway, this is a pretty cool piece of machinery. Still doesn't compare to good ol' free weights on earth though (no machine ever will)!

    @Ike_Skelton: Yeah, but this looks less like a machine, and more like a work of art.

    How much do we think this thing cost us? I bet about $18 million, plus $40 million shipping.

    Seems like zero g would get annoying after months of living in it. Sure, I'd like to try it, but I'm sure it gets annoying after a while. You can't set something down, you can't take a normal piss, you can't walk around, plus I'd probably lose my sense of direction since there's really no up and down. Hats off to the astronauts.

    I don't think that would be a problem. All you would have is "front of cabin" and "back of cabin"--kinda hard to get lost in there.

    See, why is it stuff on Earth is painted black, but cool things in space are blue and silver and gold?

    Black is used on Earth to avoid paying royalties, but terrestrial copyright doesn't apply in outer space.

    Do the astronauts have a hair cutting machine too, or do they have to get their astromate to do it for them?

    @SSJCrow: The obvious solution would be to build a knife-wielding space robot. I bet that giving it sentience would make it an even better barber.

    To ensure that our astronauts don't come back as gelatinous hoverchair occupants.

    The simple answer is to just become a space dweller and never return to Earth...
