Post Space Hotel To Open In 2012
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/33579859/
Quote:
A company behind plans to open the first hotel in space says it is on target to accept its first paying guests in 2012 despite critics questioning the investment and time frame for the multi-billion dollar project.

The Barcelona-based architects of The Galactic Suite Space Resort say it will cost $4.4 million for a three-night stay at the hotel, with this price including an eight-week training course on a tropical island.

During their stay, guests would see the sun rise 15 times a day and travel around the world every 80 minutes. They would wear Velcro suits so they can crawl around their pod rooms by sticking themselves to the walls like Spiderman.

That's gonna be one insane hotel, But 4.4 million? Only someone who probably wins "Mega Millions" could afford that, Am I right?

yeah, and work an 80 hour week, not buy a house or car, not have children or a pet, get a wife for the double income, buy food the day you want to eat it to save on refrigeration and then buy a teleporter, because they're bound to be cheaper than 4.4 million dollars

Even if I had the money, I'd wait a year or so before going up there. A, the price would drop by then, and b, you'd want to know if it was safe or not.

You're an idiot. Price drops affect a lot of things. Video games, cars, etc... But not hotels. Especially if they don't have competition.

I don't think you understood...
After a while, getting into space will be easier, and less expensive. That in itself would push the price down enormously, without counting the competition that would arise.

It'll be a while before that has any competition, though.
