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
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
They’ll repurpose the ISS instead of retiring it due to age and safety concerns. Just like the invisible hand would have wanted.

People in the 50’s thought the same, and in the 60’s, and in the 70’s… and in the 2010’s…
