Hollywood vs. Reality: space station edition

A photo of the interior of a real space station: cramped and cluttered, wires and tubes running on every surface (walls, ceiling, and floor), zero windows, circular hatch leading to the next module because real space stations are fitted out more like U-boats than five star hotels

I think the biggest difference is that spaceships in movies (like Star Trek) are built in a space dock, rather than on earth. (Although the last movies show the ship being made on earth)

Having the parts beamed to a space dock (or through an orbital lift) could allow for larger, more spacious and comfortable ships...
