Looking at this concept, the concept for Orb2, a spherical, single-launch space station by ThinkOrbital looks wayy more exciting! Also probably a lot cheaper. And it offers a huge amount of pressurized volume: Twice as much as the ISS when launched on Blue Origin's New Glenn, four times as much (4000 cubic meters, 20 meters diameter) when launched on SpaceX's Starship.
