Default Interview John Bilcow on the Work to a Next Generation Space Station

Would this thing actually be worth the huge amount on money needed to build it?


"Gateway Foundation has plans to build a circular space station that can hold 400
people. This will be called the Von Braun station. It will have twenty-four
modules that are each 12 meters in diameter by 20 meters in length. There will be
a ferris wheel like frame and a center hub and elevators. Each module will have
about 8000 cubic meters in volume. There will be connecting docking areas for 24
Dream Chasers as lifeboats to enable full evacuation of the structure. The entire
Von Bruan structure will have about 300,000 cubic meters of volume. This will be
about 300 times more than the International Space Station.

The Von Braun will have the volume of a large cruise ship."
