The US space program may be over, but if you want to experience what it must be like sleeping on a space station you can just head to Tokyo, and climb into a pod capsule.
Such accommodation is where I spent a night between switching from Tokyo Tech to University of Tokyo. As one expects, when you stay at a pod hotel you sleep in a pod capsule. There are communal showers and a locker to store your stuff.
You basically climb in, pull down the shade, and catch some shut-eye. You can check out the TV if it suits your fancy. I was surprised at some of the channel options...
Hey Robby, the shape of the pod does resemble the pet transporter lol.
