That’s what I’m curious about: what would it be like to love and work in space?
What is we had normal or near-normal Earth gravity as we lived and worked in space? That’s what I’m putting in my upcoming science fiction mystery series: https://author.bethbarany.com/coming-soon/.
For this Von Braun Space Station aiming to be in orbit by 2025, gravity will be about one-sixth’s Earth gravity — similar to Moon’s gravity.
The designer, Tim Alatorre, thinks gravity, about a sixth of Earth’s, will add a “sense of direction and orientation that isn’t present in the ISS.”
You’d also be able to go to a toilet, shower or eat food the way you are used to.

- The Gateway Foundation is building a space hotel, based on the concepts of a Nazi and American rocket scientist Wernher von Braun.
- The space station will be operational by 2025.
- The company plans to assemble it in orbit, using robots and drones.
How cool is this? “Built by the Gateway Foundation, the world’s first space hotel will have gravity, bars, inviting interiors and full-fledged kitchens. They plan to have the station visited by about a 100 tourists per week by 2025.“
