Unnecessarily, if so, since the solutions developed for Skylab actually
worked pretty well.  (Notably, the Skylab toilet worked.)  For rather
longer than a week, too.

I doubt that anyone has done enough detailed engineering on DC-1 to get
down to this level of nitty-gritty.  But it really isn't that big a deal.
The Gemini 7 astronauts spent two weeks in space a quarter century ago.
