NASA is learning the ropes ...they just installed an "observation deck"
...stargazing platform for well heeled space tourists??
Not exactly. It was in the plans from the beginning. The "cupola" is
the part covered by the white shroud in this pic. It allows the astronauts
(or cosmonauts) an observation point to directly visualize remote
operations without EVA.
Too bad we got too distracted with political BS to keep rolling on this
project. Now we have only built the Russians a very nice spaceport and
will shortly be relying on their taxi service to get to it.
