What it's like to live on the International Space Station
There's a great 25 minute tour of the ISS by Sunita Williams on NASA's YouTube channel along with commentary on how life works up there. https://youtu.be/doN4t5NKW-k

ISS Virtual Tour
This is awesome. If you'd like a live video tour, I recently sat down with my 5 year old to watch a wonderful video from NASA [0].They talk about some of the facilities in a way that kids can understand, and there's something wondrous about seeing how they move around, regularly changing their orientations, etc.
⬐ jsingletonThe coolest video I found on the ESA tour is this time-lapse one from the Cupola. Absolutely stunning.http://wsn.spaceflight.esa.int/php/download.php?fn=/videos/F...

⬐ carlsednaouiHi HN, please excuse the repost -- I submitted this late last night (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5065124), reposting now since more people are surfing HN at this time and I think many of you will find this video fascinating.

Study shows space travel is harmful to the brain
Why no 2001-style rotating orbital station? Probably because it's not easy, it'll be big and heavy, and Big and Heavy and Orbital is definitely not cheap.Moving mass — people moving around — within a rotating structure will transmit vibrations throughout the structure, even with mass dampening.
As an example of the considerations around vibrations within ISS, astronaut Sunita Williams indicated that the ISS exercise equipment is intentionally isolated from the ISS structure, as the vibrations of the crew members exercising causes problems for the solar arrays.
