I was thrilled that the guy who actually designed the thing chimed in and even offered more detail I can add. Sometimes it still amazes me that normal people like us can converse with the people who designed my favorite sci-fi stuff.
(He also provided a diagram he drew of a never-realized unmanned survival package designed for the places on the ship where a 4x4 meter cube wouldn’t fit. I’d never seen it mentioned anywhere before so it’s pretty esoteric I guess. So that will have to be a companion piece soon.)
