International Space Stairwell

The chandelier in this photo reminds me of a sci‑fi docking scene — the spaceship lining up with another vessel while a calm British voice announces, “Five hundred meters to docking.” You can hear it, right? I did just see Project Hail Mary — so good — so my brain is still in space mode.

I wish I could float through these circles the way astronauts drift through the ISS. That would be cool. I’d absolutely be the person who sends a small object down the tube just so I can chase it.
