TV makeup is split into two types, 1) getting people looking good (same reason people wear makeup any time - but if you're being filmed, more people will see you, so you care more) 2) preventing the shine While it's true that the lighting often doesn't help, the biggest problem is that the lighting can produce a lot of heat, so it's actually the lights making people sweat, not just making sweat show up more. Not sure lighting on the ISS is likely to do that, but could be wrong.

Alexandr Laveikin (cosmonaut) spent time on the Mir (Мир) spacestation in 1987. He said it was "very noisy, very hot." (This is from 'Packing for Mars' by Mary Roach) I guess heat conduction is difficult if your spacecraft is in a vacuum.

Search for "heat" in this SVG and you'll see the giant accordion radiators: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/aa/Iss027e036656-commented-20110608.svg http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/aa/Iss027e03... When the Space Shuttle was in orbit, it kept its giant bay doors open to expose its radiators. If you'd like, I can dig up some extensive articlage written for hard sci-fi writers about dealing with heat for engines and for life support.

    Do dig up those articles please, I'd be interested.

      Here's the one with lots of basic math around the subject: * http://www.projectrho.com/public_html/rocket/basicdesign.php#radiators http://www.projectrho.com/public_html/rocket/basicdesign.php... These next two are in regards to dealing with heat in space warfare: * http://www.projectrho.com/public_html/rocket/spacewarship.php#radiators http://www.projectrho.com/public_html/rocket/spacewarship.ph... * http://www.projectrho.com/public_html/rocket/spacewardefense.php#radiators http://www.projectrho.com/public_html/rocket/spacewardefense...

        Thanks! Awesome stuff.

This leads to another question. Do they (in space) have standard 50Hz/60Hz CFLs? That might be unsafe because of the flicker, right?
