re: The thing about space tourism...
"I think you are showing a lack of imagination."
Now there's a phrase I don't hear very often.
I am sure for a while the mere novelty of being in space and doing
anything there will be enough for the idle wealthy, but eventually
floating around and looking out the window will not be enough -
especially not at those prices. The people who climb Mount Everest
for $70K a pop at least get a real sense of accomplishment.
The space tourist businesses are going to need an actual destination.
That guy who is planning a space hotel is a step in the right direction.
