    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)
