05. Will the hotel modules have any propulsion system? Will the hotel orbit around the Earth? And, around the Moon or around some other planet? (A K2S Question)

From The Space Library

The modules would have a small propulsion system or thrusters on board that would be used to maintain their position in orbit. The thrusters would only be used occasionally to maintain correct position because the module would be orbiting around Earth and the gravitational pull would keep it in place. At first, the modules will orbit around the Earth but, in the future, the modules will be docked together in space and then a larger propulsion system or bus will move the stations to land on the Moon or on other planets.
