SpaceX\u2019s giant Starship rocket may <\/span>have exploded<\/span><\/a> during launch this week. However, that does not mean that Elon, or humanity for that matter, is not determined to enter a new era of space exploration. <\/span><\/p>\n

To reach further out into the universe, we will need to not only figure out how to send people to Mars<\/a>, but also how to upgrade our life-support systems and accommodations.  <\/span><\/p>\n

To that end, European<\/a> aerospace manufacturer Airbus has dreamt up LOOP, a \u201cmulti-purpose orbital module\u201d meant to replace the ageing International Space Station (ISS). According to Airbus, it has designed LOOP to \u201cmake long-term stays in space comfortable and enjoyable for its inhabitants.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

Sleek space accommodations<\/h2>\n

Compared to the iconic images of astronauts floating about in the tiny communal spaces on the ISS, the three-level deck of LOOP does indeed look a tad more agreeable. Looking at the images, it could almost be enough to make all your USS Enterprise fantasies come true. Although, as you would remain in orbit, you would not really get to \u201cboldly go,\u201d etc. <\/span><\/p>\n
