10 days? Hope they brought snacks

Seriously though I hope they're able to get up and walk around

I don't know if I could handle that 10 days in that small room

I've heard it feels a lot bigger once you're in freefall. Imagine if you could use all of your room's surfaces as floor space. I would think your room would feel a lot bigger.

They can move around after they switch from launch to spaceflight config. Apparently they also have some exercise gear for the journey.

Seems like its at least bigger than the Apollo Lunar Module from the 70's

And with modern forms of entertainment to make the trip less boring.

Astronauts are made of different stuff. Truly the best of the best.

Forget about the snacks, I wonder about the toilet in 10 days in such cramped living conditions.

I hope they will be able to stretch their legs on the moon.
