Hilton chosen to design hotel suites on Nanoracks’ Starlab private space station
Nanoracks’ Starlab space station
Capitalism in space: Hilton has been chosen to design the hotel suites inside the Starlab private space station that Nanoracks is building and hopes to launch sometime this decade.
Voyager and Hilton will partner in the areas of architecture and design, leveraging Hilton’s word-class creative design and innovation experts, to develop Space Hospitality crew headquarters aboard Starlab, including communal areas, hospitality suites, and sleeping arrangements for the astronauts.
The announcement was made by Voyager Space, the Nanoracks’ division that is building Starlab, and already has a $160 million development contract from NASA.
On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.
The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.
The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News

Just offhand, I’d still engage a marine architect for maximum space utilization.
Or the folks who deign roomettes on sleeper cars on railroads (yes, they are still being built and used)
Actually, I would prefer Holiday Inn (always stayed their when I was being transferred in the Army and was never disappointed) or, even, Motel 6

I would rather see a large hotel chain invest a significant amount in a space habitat.
Anyone can design a tiny house. Life support systems will still be designed by those particular professionals.

gvt11, that is a blast from the past. Science fiction becomes reality after 55 years. (That picture appears to be from “2001: A Space Oddesy”.
True capitalism IN space. I understand Nuytco has secrets to submarine steel. Stronger than Elon’s.
