I've never tried using the wormhole generator outside of the scientist career, but if it works, you could use this or the rocket ship to send out an Away Team on daily missions and bring back specimens. This might be a good role for your pilot or security officer.
Hmmm actually this would be a better idea for the OTHER idea I had which is a colony on some alien planet. Still self contained but made of "domes" like you see in movies like The Martian. I could picture it needing a landing/spacecraft and the wormhole generator would make a lot of sense too maybe to go "back to earth".

What is the space port lot's function? What activities or objects will be there?
What is the purpose of the spaceship? As in, what is their mission in space? Are they studying any potential life, i.e. plants? If so, you can have them do things like analyze plant samples, write books on the extraterrestrial life. Are they studying the geological qualities around them? If so, they can look for fossils, extract metals and crystals, refine crystals, analyze fossils.
I actually have a multiple spaceship designs drawn up with different purposes - some are more obvious like the largest one is actually a pleasure ship with the top 2 floors being for guests to stay in (1st for is like a cruiseship with entertainement, ect and 2nd is guest quarters)
and than I have deep space exploration designs similar to the ship from Event Horizon that will have an..."egg" comparment ala "Alien" at one point using stuff from strangerville. Basically that will be more horrorship as more sims become infected by the "virus" and it goes to the motherworld (mother alien lot I'll make for that)
I've even made a raider ship design that basically raids planets for people and items, than drops them off at a pirate space station (ironically the smallest ship).
Currently though my main ship design is a cargo ship OR a ship like a very small enterprise (in idea not shape) that has a small crew and travels great distances.
Per the space port - I picture 3 I'll build/lots. One is raiders station (basically bar, black market and really run down old looking) next is something ala cyberpunk/blader runner where many of the crew live and finally a science station.
