Default via M. Lindroos: questionable concept art no.2


And now, astroboys and astrogirls, let's shift our peepers to:

http://www.abo.fi/~mlindroo/Station/i_lsm187.jpg

....once again from "Manned Spaceflight In The 1980s", from the page entitled
"Space Station Freedom Crew Modules" at:

http://www.abo.fi/~mlindroo/Station/Slides/sld045.htm

....which is captioned:

"Life science module proposal from 1987. Life scientists
complained that the other major Station user (materials
science) received too many research opportunities while
deploring the lack of a variable-gravity centrifuge, animal
holding facility and a dedicated life sciences lab..."

....and, from the looks of this concept art, a deplorable lack of shapely,
sexily-clad astro-babes to tend them. "...Some crewmates and I had planned
on some breeding experiments, but found the 'animal holding facility' to
be insufficient..." (;^

--
"All over, people changing their votes,
along with their overcoats;
if Adolf Hitler flew in today,
they'd send a limousine anyway!" --the clash.

Also note the apparent height of the crewmen in relation to the size of
the modules in: http://www.abo.fi/~mlindroo/Station/ssf_88i1.jpg -which
are supposed to fit in the Shuttle's cargo bay... which is 15 feet wide;
when exactly did NASA start recruiting Hobbits?
