Default Would the ISS get more general population support if it didn't look like a giant satellite?

I would think the biggest failure is the lack of windows on the USA
segment. The russian segment has a number of windows, but they are small.


Beyond something like the WORF, and few windows to observe work areas,
window aren't really useful on a space station.

The station is a long way from the sleek ones portrayed in 2001 a space
odyssey, or other science fiction series since then.


Mostly because the ISS has to work in the real world, while fictional
stations don't. Comparing them is stupid.
