The hotel will accommodate up to four travelers and two crew members at a time, racing them around the planet at high speeds for 12 days,.."

Very cool, but I'm curious how it will really work as a business. At $9.5m per person their target market is probably people worth $2B+ and there's just not that many of them.

I'll have to skip a few vacations before I splurge on the Space Hotel.

I can't envisage it being anything more than a 'millionaire's bucket list' item. Not unless they introduce Economy Class. :P

I have literally zero interest in space. That being said, I wish humans would leave it alone. We're already ruining one planet... <_<

Naples (inland), FL - technically 10a but more like 9b in the winter :hmm:

To put that into perspective --- if you made $50,000/year and splurged on a $160/night room - that would be comparable to someone earning $250 million/year spending $800,000/night.

...and it looks like you can't go for just one night. 12 nights would cost $9,600,000, if I read the first post correctly. I hope I'll be able to get fresh sushi with that.
