Space hotel says it's on schedule to open in 2012 [I Heart Tech]
A Spanish investment company behind what will be the world's first space hotel says that it's on schedule to start accepting its first paying guests in 2012, despite concerns from critics (fuck you critics-- it's a SPACE HOTEL) who wonder about how smart the whole expensive idea is anyway.

From MSNBC:
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.
Galactic Suite Ltd's CEO Xavier Claramunt, a former aerospace engineer, said the project will put his company at the forefront of an infant industry with a huge future ahead of it, and forecast space travel will become common in the future.
"It's very normal to think that your children, possibly within 15 years, could spend a weekend in space," he told Reuters Television.
A nascent space tourism industry is beginning to take shape with construction underway in New Mexico of Spaceport America, the world's first facility built specifically for space-bound commercial customers and fee-paying passengers.
British tycoon Richard Branson's space tours firm, Virgin Galactic, will use the facility to propel tourists into suborbital space at a cost of $200,000 a ride.
$4.4 million for 3 nights? Oh. Well shit... looks like I'm going to have to start on that bake sale I've been planning. Thanks to hardac07 for the link.

Agreed! I'm hoping that we'll see a turn-around in the way space is viewed over the course of the next decade. Hopefully people will stop being content with sitting on their asses.

...that would probably be like box seats at a Lindsay Lohan vs. Paris Hilton skank off. I mean you want to see the action, but just not that close.
The first thing that will come from this
is a celebrity porn video in zero gravity.
By God!
You're right! Hey, discussion board idea! Which hot female celebrity's zero-g sex video would you want to see first?
And on a side note, the good ship Centennial Eagle will soon be hiring. I'll be captaining her, and she'll be needing engineers, a pilot, and astro- and quantum physicists for navigation through wormholes. Who's up for exploring the galaxy (and kirking! Lots and lots of kirking!)?

There's a few I'd love to see come out first, but you know it'll be Pamela Anderson and Scott Baio spreading Hepatitis in zero-g....

They could almost make a japanese game show out of dodging the balls of her squirtage...
....they could call it "vagina bubble dodge mayhem fun time hour" or something, I dunno.
hahahahaha
good point
You Know Damn Well...
... the blackout dates will be killer. Eclipses, meteor showers, etc.
Ah, well, can't afford it anyway.
Actually, you know damn well there'll be an international competition to give away a four-night stay, for which there'll be some absolutely ridiculous competition. Massive entertainment value, that.
