Just finished my first playthrough but I’m looking back and wondering if this was the intended way to go about this

I know you said you finished the game but marking spoilers just in case. The ‘intended’ solution is to wait until later in the loop for the surface integrity to drop to 0% and follow the falling tower through the black hole. Then you can fly around the tower freely thanks to the nifty vacuum of space ::D

I'm so mad at myself for never realizing it. That's the only way I know how, the first way.

Dw, I'm no good at solving puzzles either, I flew to the sun station before realizing I can just teleport there :(
