((Genuine content arising from a fiction))
“While the world he inhabits is, in some respects, counterfeit, there’s nothing fake about Truman himself. No scripts, no cue cards. It isn’t always Shakespeare, but it’s genuine. It’s a life.”
The Truman Show (1998) dir. Peter Weir

What was needed to make sure the cosmonauts felt at home in the small capsules?
Galina Balashova: Cosmonauts feel at home if the design of the small room around them is harmonious. If it is sweet, functional and easy to use. The room needs to be outfitted just as if it were an apartment: With a bed, a table, chairs, a toilet, and a shower. Good architecture always depends on the same rules, and it doesn’t matter whether it’s about a house or a spaceship.
Which are?
Galina Balashova: I had good teachers at university: Michail Fyodorovich Olenev and Yuri Nikolayevich Sheverdyayev. In his very first lecture, Sheverdyayev told us that what would be most important for us would be to learn good taste. To find the right proportions in the balance of humans, space and architecture. And that you can always reconcile function and beauty – he’d cribbed the latter from Palladio.

What people are going to be doing when they colonize outer space is they're going to be living in little tin cans; they're going to have to get supplies from the outside, and they're going to be living on hydroponic gardens. There aren't going to be Redwood forests in space. There aren't going to be rivers and oceans in space. They'll be orbiting offices, with cubicles and Ficus plants. So there's an inherent ceiling on what they can do now. You can come close to the possible ideal and I suppose to some extent the Biosphere did. I mean you build a sealed greenhouse - that can be done. But, the grand scheme you just can’t do it: you can't build a whole new planet.
