That’s why I was suggesting the Bigelow inflatable module. The experimenters could bounce around inside of that one, and it’s private property belonging to Bigelow. Also it’s at a far end of the station away from most of the other activity.

I have about the build of the narrator in this clip.

All the women _I’ve_ been with could easily fit in that space with me. I’ve hooked up…several times…with my current girlfriend in the backseat of my Prius, and it’s less space than that.
