Thanks to the hard work of companies like SpaceX, Virgin Galactic, and Blue Origin, space tourism is well on its way to becoming a reality. Now, California-based Orbital Assembly Corporation (OAC) envisions a chance for galactic visitors to extend their "out-of-the-world" experience by checking into a luxurious hotel in low Earth orbit.

If you were to take a space shuttle (last flight 2011) to the VSS, you will need to feel about 5~10G (5~10 times stronger gravity than earth's gravity). It won't feel comfortable. A new rocket with less 'G' should be developed for people to stay comfortable on their journy. If we think that the VSS weighs 250 tons (nothing to do with the real thing), the launch cost on a Delta IV Heavy is 400 million per launch. The payload is about 20tons. 250/20= 13 launches = 5 Billion USD. If they use starship, the cost per launch is 8 million. The payload is 100~150 tons. If we count it as 100 tons, 250/100=3 launches=24 million USD. We just have to wait. It's 3 million to STAY, and some more million for the journy to space and back.
nowizivesywy3년 이상I love it
iheartpuppies3년 이상That's got to cost a lot to stay in, let alone get to. How much would the overall stay be? A billion dollars? Do they think people have that much money?
