Dude I heard about this hotel back in the early 2000’s. Hell that picture was a screen saver on Windows 95. This most likely a grift for investor money.
I hope this happens so the thing implodes like the titanic sub and all the billionaires die
Send the billionaires up and leave them there.
I’ve seen For All Mankind s03e01. I don’t need to die on an orbital hotel, thank you very much.
I wish I hadn’t seen it, but yes. That was what sprung into my mind too.
Really? I think the show is pretty good. It’s gotten a bit cheesier as it’s gone on, but still entertaining.

Orbital Assembly Corporation
Hang on, this is just the gateway foundation’s grift again. They pop up every few few years to do the same thing, it’s just a funding scam. Last time I looked into these losers they didn’t even have an office. Nothing they’re proposing will work once you delve deeper than the pure surface level. Main guy claims to have been a JPL engineer, and he was, but iirc he worked on terrestrial power regulators for test equipment (or something similar).
White hole
- Yeah sure
They’ll repurpose the ISS instead of retiring it due to age and safety concerns. Just like the invisible hand would have wanted.
We’re definitively not getting any space hotels within a decade
Two decades however? Possible. I do think we will see the buildup of a lot more space infrastructure this century, but it all depends upon how much the world cares about space and its development
People in the 50’s thought the same, and in the 60’s, and in the 70’s… and in the 2010’s…
Yeah for sure, as I said, it hinges upon how interested we actually are in space
But modern computers and manufacturing techniques have made reusable rockets possible, and they exist now, so things are not quite the same as they used to be
Another thing though, our space infrastructure has been improving over the decades, it’s just that it mostly consisted of satellites orbiting earth. I mean, look at GPS, that only really came into practical existence in the 90s! And that was a massive thing! (Yes I know technically earlier but still)
My thoughts exactly … it will be an orbiting container that will be called a ‘hotel’ where rich people can launch up to, float inside for an hour and get delivered back to earth for $10 million
