Space habitats, whether aboard a spacecraft or a space station, are designed to support human life in the harsh environment of space. Understanding the design and functionality of these habitats is crucial for a successful space tourism experience. This includes learning about the living quarters, hygiene facilities, and recreational areas, as well as how these spaces are maintained. Virtual reality tours and simulations can provide an immersive experience, allowing you to explore these habitats from the comfort of your home. This familiarity can ease the transition to living in space and enhance your overall experience.
