He further added; “During their stay on Aurora Station, travelers will enjoy the exhilaration of zero gravity and fly freely throughout Aurora Station, gaze at the northern and southern aurora through the many windows, soar over their hometowns and take part in research experiments such as growing food while in orbit which they can take home with them as the ultimate souvenir.”
