07. Will the space environment affect the spaceship's passenger capacity? (A K2S Question)

From The Space Library

Yes, it will, because spaceship passengers will not want to stay strapped into their seats while in zero-gravity. The sensation of weightlessness, once experienced, is never forgotten. There's no up or down. Tell your brain which way is up and—click—it immediately switches into that way of seeing. This is great fun and Virgin Galactic will make sure that all passengers can leave their seats and discover moves they never knew they had—but with enough personal space not to annoy their fellow passengers.
