On the International Space Station, you can just hang out on the ceiling... This makes for fun photos, but is also exploited to the maximum to use all available space. The "floor", "walls" and "ceiling" of our laboratory modules and storage modules are all covered with equipment racks and storage holds, no need to waste space when you can easily reach all areas and don't have to walk on anything. To orient ourselves we usually float the same way each time, lighting and arrows help to keep track.

Pourquoi utiliser le sol quand on peut utiliser le plafond ? Certes, ça fait des photos amusantes, mais il y a aussi une utilité immédiate : le rangement ! Dans un espace aussi limité, tous les recoins et toutes les parois sont utilisés pour stocker ou pour travailler. Notre meilleur ami ? Le velcro !
