To conserve space, bunk beds are used for sleeping in the Habitat. In the Hawking III, first inaugurated in 2008-09, the astronauts of Genesis 2009 had the chance to christen their beds.

Hawking II Bunk Beds

After the second bunk broke, Cmdr. De Young commissioned the creation of a repair-bot, who was constructed out of a pool noodle, air ducts, duct tape, an extension cord, and a circuit board. The long house cameras were deactivated, so as not to be damaged by the robot, and the robot was tasked with repairing the broken bunks, and verifying the integrity of the remaining four. Simulator CommanderKevan Adlard used the cover story of the repair bot to mask his entry into the Habitat, as he performed the robot's duties.
