SpaceX CEO Elon Musk in a tweet said to experience space one should live in a glass dome.
Probably most “in space” you could possibly feel by being in a glass dome https://t.co/SOAIzxVGgX

Crew Dragon spacecraft will replace its International Space Station docking mechanism with a transparent dome, giving passengers an wonderful experience in space. The glass dome will be at the ‘nose’ of the Dragon capsule, or its topmost point when it’s loaded upright on top of a Falcon 9 rocket readying for launch. There should be space for one passenger to use it at a time, and it’ll be opened up once the spacecraft is safely out of Earth’s atmosphere, exposed by a protective cover that can be flipped back down to protect the observation deck when the spacecraft re-enters on its return trip.
SpaceX is set to make a change to its Crew Dragon spacecraft for its forthcoming history-making all-civilian launch, currently set for September 15.
