assembling the Space Station frame
Astronauts at the Marshall Space Flight Center are pictured assembling the framework which would eventually become the space station.  They are working on "snap joints."  
Astronauts experience the same weightlessness and cumbersome restrictions in the tank as in outer space, making this the perfect simulator.

NASA astronaut, close-up
NASA constructed the tank above ground inside an extremely large hanger.  Forty feet deep, an elevator takes astronauts and divers up to the surface of the water.  Visitors can climb external steps to peek inside through portholes.
