There are two of these that are in museums!  One is in Russia and one is in Wisconsin at the Tommy Bartlett Science Exploration!  We had so much fun there!  The experiments were all hands on!  I loved the puzzles and watching the kids doing them or figuring things out !  I couldn't get any shots inside the Space Station because the lighting was very low to give us the effect of space!  There were other people in there with us listening to the presentation, so I didn't feel comfortable using a flash!  Even though we were standing on a perfectly flat floor we kept falling over!  You feel like you are on a sharp angle !  I would keep looking at my feet on the flat floor to orient and catch myself  They were up in this ship for 6 months at a time!  It is huge, but not so huge when you think of them being there for 6 months!  Their exercise bike was mounted on the ceiling!  The bathroom was quite interesting!  They slept in these upright little closet things with clear plastic doors!  They had NO privacy! They kept everything just as it was when the cosmonauts left it!  There is a little girl's doll hooked to the wall !  It looks like someone's daughter sent along their favorite doll so their dad wouldn't feel alone!  I will post another photo of it from the side!  It was an AMAZING experience!!!  I hope I am not boring everyone with my stories!  I am just so excited that I want to share!
