In October 2021, a report on the US Futurism website claimed that the interior design of China's space station looks like an "Apple Store", and it puts the International Space Station to shame.The orbital lab boasts a number of tools and designs that set it apart from the ISS, which is fairly old and slated to be retired within the next decade. Not only does Tiangong have spacious bunks for its astronauts, but it also has a sleek space gym and separate living spaces for each crewmember - with a minimalist white interior design that looks more like an Apple store than a cramped space habitat.

Compare that to the ISS, which looks downright obsolete in comparison. In fact, not only the media, but even Scott Kelly, an astronaut who once worked on the International Space Station, expressed his envy for the spacious and tidy environment inside the China Space Station. The ISS’s sleeping quarters are roughly the size of a phone booth, paling in comparison to Tiangong's beds. In fact, it’s so cramped that astronauts are sometimes forced to "sleep kind of together, wherever," NASA astronaut Scott Kelly said.

On top of that is the ISS's- shall we say- cluttered interior design. Much of its space is filled with a hodgepodge of wires, computers, and miscellaneous hardware together. So why does the International Space Station look so "dirty and crowded"? Why is there such a big contrast between the two? Hi. Welcome to Hot Topics Time, and let’s move on to today’s topic.
