Gosh, that is the first evidence I've ever seen that NASA ever had a "car guy" on staff. All their other vehicles look like the product of people who have never seen a land vehicle before. I saw a copy of the Lunar Rover, and any racing bike mechanic could have taken kilos off it with ease.
The ISS does have a separate frame, like an American pickup truck, instead of being all-monocoque like an airliner, and it weighs seven tons.
