Couldn't help but noticing the 'crew contingent' below the ISS... of course the crew is NOWHERE NEAR that big, simply because the US canceled its planned development of a crew escape vehicle for the ISS years ago... since the crew is strictly limited to escape seats available aboard Soyuz, which only seats three, they're pretty much limited to six crew on ISS at any one time. Maybe, just maybe, if SpaceX gets Dragon transporting crew to ISS, we MIGHT see some larger crews...
Neat stuff to be sure...

Interesting... no Voskhods...
Even so, the SpaceX might hold seven, to get that many crew they would need two capsules. Can ISS dock two SpaceX capsules at once or would they need to add yet another docking port?
It's right there between the NB-52 (airplane) and the Titan II GLV.
very cool poster! gotta love that beautiful Saturn 1b in there!
It is impressive next to that Soyuz, ain't it??

yes it is! that 1b is just sexy.
ya know...looking at that poster....the Saturn V was a monster wasn't it? I mean, that thing is huge compared to everything else on there......its been 50 years + since it was designed...but it still just awe inspiring.
Yep... As Scotty might say "Methinks we won't be seeing her like again..."
