I like the views, and I think the drawings understate them. You're on the inside of a curved surface: you can see hundreds of km in any direction, always from a high angle (no obstructions). And up to the full 4pi steradians of solid angle. Far more than a mountain view. Maybe more like an ISS view, but bigger still, and vastly sharper (with minimal assumptions about the atmosphere quality). The level of detail isn't really represented right.

It would be an interesting vacation concept, if only it were about 15 orders of magnitude cheaper.
