Panel 3 there's a side of Marigold we've never seen before! :laugh:
Tanman:
Oh Marten, your hipster chic will be your undoing! That single strap tote will be next to useless in weightlessness!
Nerds with two strap backpacks rule in space!

Probably administered somewhere on the carotid arteries. Makes sense for a drug targeting the vestibular system, but what about the blood-brain barrier? Is the vestibular system outside it? Can you help by targeting it directy? This is not my forte...
EDIT: Didn't notice Redball's post.

Hanners is happy to use one, though.
And Marten's is on the wrong shoulder in the first frame.

Given what's depicted so far, I'd vote for a hub that can be de-spun (contra-rotated) at least temporarily to meet a docking ship. This allows for docking ports off-axis, which you'd need to allow for more than one ship at a time to dock. The big (solar?) panels shown would have to work the same way, to maintain orientation to the sun.
For a depiction of moving from the non-spinning section to the spinning section, see also ... Kubrick's 2001, which shows Bowman and Poole leaving Discovery's "Carousel" for the passageway to the bridge and/or pod bay. (Ignore that scene with the stewardess aboard the Aries. She didn't need to do that whole walking-around-the-circle thing; no passengers were watching. She was just messin' around.*)
Marten's first attempt to enjoy free-fall is, unfortunately, teaching him the same lesson his earthbound life has taught him: Launch too enthusiastically, try to enjoy life, and you get hurt. Can't catch a break, unless it's his nose and the bulkhead. Berf.
Also, Marigold's changed into long pants. She must have had a bad time on orbit, poor thing.
*Yes, I know it was a camera trick on a rotating set in that one-g environment we like to call Earth.
