The Gateway Foundation is currently developing the world's first commercial space hotel called the Von Braun Space Station, complete with artificial gravity, full-working kitchens, bars and more. As part of the ambitious project, The Gateway Foundation is working towards making the space hotel operational by the year 2025 and envisions it accommodating 100 tourists per week.
The design of the Von Braun Space Station relies on technology that's already been introduced at the ISS and will consist of a rotating wheel made up of various modules for different functions.
As Tim Alatorre, the senior design architect of the Von Braun Space Station, sees it: "Eventually, going to space will just be another option people will pick for their vacation, just like going on a cruise, or going to Disney World."
