“Welcome to an era when every individual can live in a space habitat. In fact, many space habitats have been constructed near Earth. To fly between those space habitats, people have their own spaceships that private companies have produced. Recently, Space Sato, one of the spaceship companies, invented a groundbreaking spaceship with unprecedented comfort. The interior cabin is perfectly balanced with gravity that mirrors that of the Earth. Thanks to the new cutting edge spaceship, Space Sato has gotten much attention and rapidly increased its share in the spaceship market. However, due to this rapid growth, employees of Space Sato have had to work really hard and many of them are leaving because they have been pushed beyond their limits. Many are burnt out and some are suffering from mental health issues.”
