Maybe it will implode?

There's absolutely no way a space hotel will be operational in 2027.

But it's more likely than public healthcare in the USA in 2027.

It's pretty much impossible for something to implode in space. You're already in a vacuum so there is no ambient pressure to press on an object.

The solution is so simple. Vote overwhelming for progressive, and get rid of the centrists and Republicans.

We'd have free, universal healthcare within a couple of years.

No it won't.

Not in 2027

Not in 2037

These projects are little more than scams, just like Mars 1; pure nonsense

It flies like a Hilton, but handles like a Motel-Six.

The only consolation is that a billionaire that stays up there has a high probability of exploding in a fiery death. It helps me sleep at night knowing that.

I think those that can afford a space hotel do not worry about healthcare.

no no billionaires only implode on makeshift submersibles, in space they explode

So this is how Elysium starts?

Lol 2027? Never gonna happen

yeah and scientists have been "just a few years away" from preventing the aging process for about 25 years now. I have a feeling it's not going to happen in 2027

Everyone: That’s impossible. Billionaires: No, it’s necessary.

Nothing like having everyone depend completely on you just to stay alive. Y'know. Because of the implication.

Let them go there and prevent them from coming back.

I saw this episode of For All Mankind already. It doesn't go well for the hotel.

We get closer and closer to a dystopian cyberpunk future.

only available for billionaires!

Don't worry the Vermicious Cnids will take care of that one for us on the house.

Why not both? Por que no los dos?

Republicans want billionaires and wealthy corporations to be untaxed because they earned every cent so that exclusive property can be built, like this space hotel, that the republican rabble will never set foot in. Then they’ll thank god when the space debris takes out half their neighborhood but spares their home.

I mean, I think it could actually be a good thing to drive innovation in space travel.

Is that Elysium?

My favorite version of this the lady is like spouting off a bunch of silicon valley buzzwords and the guy on the right is "healthcare pls....."

Lol

First ever homemade surface-to-orbit missile, 2028

Get your ticket to that wheel in space while there's time, the fix is in!

It's the got damn death star Martha!!

What billionaire wants to be stuck in a penthouse apartment?

Even if it was the nicest space like penthouse

Okay, now we know this is bs. However, the neat part is that if we humans ever really start living in space, then such centrifugal force induced gravity habitats would be the most likely way we would live. Living on/in a celestial body like they show in scifi is the least likely scenario.

Priorities. Good job.

Free healthcare only for those saving Earth from Aliens - new transformers movie

Is Musk doing it? Don’t look up.

Realistic Criteria

What if we got all the billionaires and politicians to experience the Overview Effect? Would that be worthwhile?

Who cares what the poor plebs want? We just need to find new ways of monetising their existence.

Company: no taxes and no law out there. You can finally look down on everyone at this planet at the same time. Billionaires: shut up and take my money!

ISS is going to burn up in the atmosphere soon (on purpose), already degraded. Space is a harsh environment.

Yeah I don't think so

I'm confused, this isn't being funded by the government who would be responsible for US healthcare is it?

Surely a private company spending money on this to make money from the tourists is good for the space industry in general as it will help with data on building longer term space habitations for people not willing to go though the level of acclimatisation that astronauts do.
