I enjoy floating around the ISS immensely. I am used to it now and move freely between the different modules. The space station has grown since I was here for Mission DELTA in 2004. It is great, there is more living space now. Sometimes it can be difficult to find my way around though. It is possible that I enter the same module four times and each time a different wall could be ‘up’. It takes a moment to look around and think before I get my bearings. It is hard to imagine this on Earth. A ceiling is always a ceiling and does not change into a floor or a wall. In our schedule we usually do not have enough time reserved for these orientation problems. Retrieving and looking for an object can take much longer than planned.
