#ElPais 📆 06 Mar 2023 "The #inflatable🎈structures https://youtu.be/pGcdrxB2Qow are not as fragile as they might seem. They are constructed of a fabric similar to the Kevlar material used in #bulletproof vests, and their multiple layers offer a good degree of #radiation protection. There are plans to use them to build small #hotels for #SpaceTourism." https://english.elpais.com/science-tech/2023-03-06/nasas-plans-for-the-end-of-the-iss-private-space-stations-and-hotels-with-an-earth-view.html
