Rather amazing that our body can process it internally and it is no wonder that there are problems absorbing nutrients. Well, there is lots of wonder but it isn’t surprising that we would have difficulty in an environment so different from the one we evolved in.

Blair,
I have always preferred to compare spacecraft and space stations to submarines. Both are compact pressure vessels in the middle of inhospitable environments. (Except water, towels, microphones, etc. don’t float in mid-air as well inside submarines.)

As for the look of a high-tech trash heap: it looks like a compact version of most of the labs I have worked in.

Oh. I just made your point for you.

I’m always surprised that the interior shots of ISS look like a high – tech trash heap.
