You would not need a swimming pool; with the experience of weightlessness guests could literally swim in space inside or outside the hotel. For fun, a guest could view Earth or the Moon from space. Guests could see cities, bodies of water, mountains, weather and even fires from space. A guest could look at the stars and planets. Zero-gravity presents a lot of opportunities to perform gymnastics or throw a ball forever. Space station guests could perform experiments with elements, animals and plants in a low-gravity environment. And, of course, there will be videos, video games and satellite TV. Maybe in the future, an artificial gravity swimming pool or hot tub could be designed. A swimming pool in space would be really fun. Since in weightlessness water becomes floating blobs, imagine swimming in a huge ball of water! However, swimming pools won't be built in the early space hotels. They are too complicated to build, and there would be more important ways to use a precious resource like water than swimming in it! ---- Answer provided by [[Robert T.

Return to 18. What would we be able to do at the hotel? What could we do for fun? Could we have swimming pools and game rooms in the space hotels? (A K2S Question).
