    I recently read about the plan for a space hotel in orbit. For some reason, artificial gravity is involved in the plan. Wouldn't it be better to build a new research centre? In my opinion, it would be even cheaper. And at the same time, we could get unlimited time in microgravity.

    @KuiperAerospace If this is true, then this is very cool. Thank you for such a simple and clear explanation. I hope everything will be as it should be. So we can really get effective treatments thanks to this? Great.

    here is one of the articles https://www.skyrora.com/post/increasing-interest-for-microgravity-research-skyrora
    But all such articles do not seem accurate enough to me, I suppose.
    The general description is clear to me. But there are no specific examples. Maybe someone knows about something similar? For example, thanks to research in microgravity, we got ... (???)

    @SoulBlazer Very cool description. But for some reason, manned missions to the Moon and Mars are already planned. It seems to me that this is too hasty. Have you heard anything about Ingenuity flights? If a helicopter cannot fly there, then what will people do there?

    Currently, the most realistic option is a plasma engine. There was news recently that scientists at the Princeton Laboratory of Plasma Physics have found a way to create it. If everything works out, then such an engine can accelerate space travel by 10 times. It would be great.

    @Tweedle_Aerospace Interesting opinion. Do you really think that such a warlike species like humans can live forever and not destroy themselves? I love the idea of space exploration, but I'm afraid it could lead to a new kind of resource war.
    I really hope that a more peaceful and colourful future awaits us.
    Now, perhaps the more pressing problem will be Kessler's syndrome or something similar. Although recently scientists have said that negative energy is not needed to create a warp drive. Maybe new research will lead to something revolutionary.

    Maybe it's not a rocket, but the world's largest fireworks display?
    I hope that no one will ever get hurt by such trials.
    Maybe they needed to scale the ship and test a scaled-down version? Some companies do this with traditional rockets.
