Just think maybe one of the next space stations will be entirely inflatable and be like way larger than all of our current space stations.

Just make sure Boeing isn't in charge of building the seals.

Space bouncy castle?

I'd 100% go to orbit to spend 5 minutes ~~zero-g~~ micro-gravity bouncing from wall to wall and then the rest of the time wheezing in the corner.
