Russia Planning on Luxury Space Hotel - Oni - 12-30-2017
Sounds neat and apparently it would have WiFi. Caveat would be that only 0.33% of people could afford this, according to the article.
Quote:If you read that headline and got a sense of whatever deja vu is in Russian, don’t worry: they’ve been talking about this for years. I suppose the Russians may finally launch an orbital ‘hotel’ soon, but to be honest, I’m pretty skeptical of most Russian ISS segment plans, which were once quite elaborate, but seem to never quite happen, year after year. Still, this plan offers a chance to actually make some money, so maybe it’ll actually happen.

I almost fell off my chair reading this.
Quote:The full cost of an eventual trip to the ISS would be about $40 million for a two-week stay aboard the module.
It's petty cash for the likes of Mark Zuckerberg and Bill Gates.

Interesting idea. Though, I'm more interested to see what follows after the first country does something like this. We can already have orbital cruises via a plane flight, so why not a hotel?
Imagine a time when cruises won't be in the Caribbean but through the solar system (unlikely but hey).

I don't think it would pay off for them...
I myself would be scared of going to space

It seems like a cool idea but I don't think they will have a lot of visitors in that hotel.
I wouldn't go in space because I'm really afraid of heights.

bro im sure only the top 1% of the top 1%ers can afford this...
RE: Russia Planning on Luxury Space Hotel - Jiggly - 01-07-2018
1% worth billions+, if they're ready for the few hundred+K that it costs for an orbital flight (having been around for years now) - (I wonder if it's a different experience for those that can afford it)
RE: Russia Planning on Luxury Space Hotel - Die - 01-08-2018
Damn I doubt anyone could even afford a hotel in space.

Let's say that 10% of that 0.33% actually wants to spend that amount of money and go there. I highly doubt they'll make a profit out of it. This isn't going to be launched any time soon in my opinion.
