Very cool, Tim.  Thanks for sharing. :)   I can't imagine haw claustrophobic I would be in some of those spaces.  lol

The ISS an amazing feat of human engineering.  I wonder how long it takes for ISS occupants to get familiar with truly moving and living in 3 dimensions.  I was getting disoriented watching the turns of the tour.  And I love how comfortably and gracefully these people move though the station in zero gravity.  I would LOVE to experience that sensation!

Here's something I just found online.  It's a pretty cool way of visualizing and even hearing our solar system.

That's pretty cool Damian. This just revealed that our solar system is really just a big wind chime. I knew there was a deeper reason for our existence.  ;)

I found myself getting very excited in anticipation of the single tones that Neptune and Uranus would make as they completed their respective yearly orbits.  Kind of a cool idea with no real practical purpose.   :)

Yeah, but that is what makes it SO GREAT!!!

Actually, it does have a purpose.  It can teach kids (and adults...ahem) about space and how planets behave in orbit.
