Re: Space Hotel by 2012

During that time guests would see the sun rise 15 times a day and use Velcro suits to crawl around their pod rooms by sticking themselves to the walls like Spiderman.

lol, note they say "LIKE SPIDERMAN!" in an effort to make that dreadful consequence of space travel sound cool, not to mention the bathroom problem.

Its a cool idea, but at over 1 million dollars a night, this is little more than a useless diversion for the wealthy. And I'd wager the only time you'd enjoy yourself is AFTER the trip has ended and you're bragging to everyone about it.

My my... what i pessimistic mood i'm in.  lol

Re: Space Hotel by 2012

Bragging rights would be HUGE.

And if the wealthy help mankind open up space ... Great!

Re: Space Hotel by 2012

I suppose thats true. But i doubt we'll see space travel affordable to the general public for a very very long time.

Re: Space Hotel by 2012

I'd like to see the space hotels like the space station in 2001: A space odyssey. It even had a bar! Just like a hypermodern hotel.
