But there are no rustic dachas (summer homes). Instead, the tranquil enclave is filled with space-age hardware: laboratories, giant centrifuges and flight simulators...

The chill reduced the effectiveness of the chemical "scrubber," a sodium carbonate compound called Baralyme, which is used to remove exhaled carbon dioxide. To keep the chemical effective, the crew increased the air pressure inside the compartment...
