I assume this is Orion Spans hotel? I put some money into the crowd sourcing, but they did not make their goal and I got my money back.

There will be some similarities: in both, visitors (four guests with two staff) will nap in sleeping bags attached to the superstructure, the food will be freeze-dried, and all guests will have to go through a vigorous pre-launch health screening. The journey to Aurora alone means being subjected to 3Gs of gravitational force.
