Excellent idea. You da man! That would make expansions much easier, and the
usable interior space of any module bigger as well. If I were to employ such a
design in the M3 modules (which I will, so thanks! :-) I'd keep the end flip
doors in the modules, and equip each airlock module with the 2 slides and
another flip door.
Your nice solution solved a problem for me too, Bram: the living quarters
module was too cramped.
I can tell this is gonna be a great group!

| HEY! What's going on? Why does a space station have to be some butt-ugly assembly of modules? I think a space station, ship, etc. should be designed and built as a single unit. It looks so much better that way, and it works better that way too. Z (25 years ago, 7-Jan-00, to lugnet.space)
