ANOTHER space hotel?
As long-time readers of this blog undoubtedly know --- well, let me start over, since I very likely don't have any long-time readers of this blog.
During the course of writing this blog, I have noted several different ideas, and some actual tentative plans, to put civilian humans in space, sub-orbitally or orbitally, in private spacecraft. There have been several different plans discussed and designed. One of the recent ones (which might have a better chance to come true than the others) was an add-on module to the International Space Station.
Now here comes another proposal. I don't know how much of a chance it has to fly (as of now, they don't even have a launch vehicle identified), but hey, the proposal is on the table.
"Luxury Space Hotel" to launch in 2021
Now, if you don't remember why I am so interested in this topic, it's because I'm waiting for that one loving couple to boldly go where no one has gone before, and become the first members of the Higher-Than-Anyone Else Club. Which is a lot higher than the Mile High Club. A space hotel, whichever one gets into space in an operating state first, is a perfect place for this unique weightless docking maneuver. So who's going to make the first reservation for the orbiting honeymoon suite?
The world is waiting.
