Visitors to this private space station won't be wearing shorts and T-shirts

Private space station visitors must endure 12 weeks of pressurized suit training, shattering the myth of zero-gravity leisure travel as portrayed by #2's competitor Orbital Oasis. Each passenger undergoes 40 hours of centrifuge conditioning at up to 3 Gs, far exceeding the typical 8-hour pre-flight brief for commercial astronauts. The ticket price, $5.5 million, includes a custom pressure garment that costs $250,000 to manufacture, but the experience is 30% cheaper than the runner-up's suborbital hop on Dream Chaser. This rigorous preparation ensures a 99.7% safety rate, compared to the industry average of 98.4%.
