With no link detailing the story, I guess we'll have to take your word on that.
Isn't that a high school gown? Aren't all college gowns black?
She isn't in college. She just won a lawsuit against her parents. That was probably a FB picture the news people found. And i didn't link to the story because it's easy enough to find.

To be honest, if I weren't married, and I had land to put it on, I would consider one of these. Owning a home has some nice perks, but it's also a huge burden. Something like this would be easy to maintain, force you to be realistic about how much crap you own, and potentially let you live in places you wouldn't otherwise be able to.

not at all claustrophobic, no, not the least little bit!

It depends, but the last manned launch (Expedition 41 aboard Soyuz TMA-14M) took 6 hours to get from launch pad to getting docked, then they took another 2 hours before the hatches between the Soyuz and the ISS were opened. The time it takes to dock comes from being very cautious in getting any craft to approach the ISS. I can only guess that time after docking is due to equalizing air pressure on both sides of each hatch (there is that small space between the hatches that at the time of docking contains a vacuum). You wouldn't want to simply dump air into that space in case the seals of the dock had malfunctioned (in which case they would be dumping air off the ISS/the Soyuz). The hatches open inward toward each craft, so if the space between the hatches were still a vacuum then pulling open the hatch would require something in the range of 3 tons of lifting force.

Aw, he's no fun, he fell right over.

Most of the sensors are seeing outside the visual spectrum, so lots.
