As UCF continues to lead the charge in space innovation, Rosen College is expanding the meaning of hospitality beyond our planet. From orbital hotels to lunar dining, our faculty and students are exploring how comfort, care, and connection translate to life beyond Earth. During Space Week, we highlight how hospitality will help shape the future of human experience in space by uniting science, creativity, and empathy in every new frontier.
