While I’m sure a departure point for at least the moon, the rotating space station also seems to serve as a hotel, evidenced by the “bubble” scenes.
I’m guessing the weightless space suited folks (near/at the hub) are receiving instructions on how to conduct safe recreational EVAs. Although, I don’t understand the reason/benefit to conducting a meeting on-orbit, other than it being in a fraction of earth’s gravity. As such, less stressful? Maybe as a bennie to your top sales performers last quarter? Better chance for the firm to land the lucrative account in such an exotic environment?
Also, the externally protruding pod-like design of the vendor stations/kiosks seems a little odd. Although I suppose this design doesn’t take up precious interior walkway space & may actually have been a weight-saving measure during construction? Although I’d think it’s adding multiple unnecessary potential failure points…hmm.
Finally, it’s obviously borrowing from “2001: A Space Odyssey” and possibly “Star Trek”…based on those exploitative, voyeuristic & sexist mega-miniskirts! And of course, everyone's white. Circa 1971.
