The small amount of fake gravity they were feeling due to the MM10 rockets altered the way Little Turtle was designed. On the space shuttle, there were panels, controls and knobs everywhere except the floor which was often used for storage containers. The reason being that the occupants were always floating and could reach them at any time. If the shuttle astronauts were near the floor, they could push off and float to the ceiling. The Space Station was similar in that way, too.

Little Turtle was arranged in a similar fashion, but some modifications had to be made. There were controls on the ceiling and walls, but again nothing on the floor because they were still walking on it, albeit lightly. However, to make sure the crew could reach the ceiling knobs, it was lowered to only six and a half feet above the floor — taller than any of the astronauts, but still easily within reach. Little Turtle was a very cramped workspace that could’ve been designed by Frank Lloyd Wright.

The only noticeable noise on Little Turtle was the hissing that was being transmitted by the MM10 rocket engines through the structure and into the cabin. The Moon and the Earth looked to be about the same size now, but both were behind them. Mars still looked like a red dot far away.
