Two people demo a new spacecraft compartment with adjustable lighting that shifts from bright to warm red tones, similar to Brian Johnson's red-light therapy. Astronauts could use Starlink to stream Netflix and relax during downtime, turning their habitat into a leisure space rather than a place where time feels wasted.
This is the thing you helped engineer— design?
Yeah, that's the thing. I feel like I'm a bag of popcorn in a microwave. I don't know how—
No, it's good. It's good. Yeah, I can feel it. It's like getting a hug.
Yeah, it's like being hugged. Yeah. I'm going to close the door. Okay. And you'll get a sense for how the light reflects in there. And it should get a little brighter in there because of the reflections.
That was nice. So it's pretty well lit. So we'll go—
that's max bright. Oh, that's cool. And then here's Max Sunset.
This is like Brian Johnson's red light therapy. With them having Starlink on there, would you watch Netflix? You could.
You can do that on ISS right now with the right— yeah, we have good enough coverage that it's not Starlink, but it's—
But do you feel like you're wasting your time? No. Or sometimes you just want to relax? I never felt that way.
I mean, I think I watched all of Game of Thrones. I watched almost all of Breaking Bad in space.
