How large is the “capsule” in which the 4 astronauts are calling home for 10 days? Enough to move around?
It was described as the space of “the interior volume of 2 minivans.” So, not large at all.
It’s the biggest space vehicle since the Space Shuttle in terms of habitable space, but still rather cramped for four astronauts – it’s about 16.5 ft in diameter and about 11 ft high in a blunt cone shape. Would be fairly roomy for one person, pretty cramped for four, but still – a bit of room to move around.
A mitigating factor is that in zero gravity every bit of space is equally useful. You can’t lie on the roof of a minivan or wiggle around into every nook. In a spacecraft you can. The entire interior skin works like a large floor. The two rows of seats will break the space up into a set of individual spaces each useful to a human. Cozy, but better than one might think.
I’m watching the livestream and just minutes ago the commentator mentioned the two minivans comparison then added, “about 300 cubic feet, twice as much as Apollo.”
