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.

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.

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

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?

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.

Lol 2027? Never gonna happen

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!

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.

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....."

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

Is that Elysium?

Lol

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

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.

What billionaire wants to be stuck in a penthouse apartment?

Even if it was the nicest space like penthouse

Priorities. Good job.

Realistic Criteria

Is Musk doing it? Don’t look up.

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

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!

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

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