Imagine taking your summer vacation to orbit around in a space hotel, apparently many companies are gearing up to make space tourism a marketable business, and it;s close yo becoming a reality. What are your concerns about this new business venture. What other possibilities are there to explore. What's next hotels in the deep blue sea?

I was just watching a documentary a few days ago about the countless amount of space rocks, of various sizes, that fly through space at thousands of miles per hour. Now, that only happens to space craft that has put some distance between itself and earth, but I would rather not go. Because space is such a dangerous place that it's difficult to guarantee the safety of the vacationers.
Another thing Is the lack of gravity, and that's a lot of fun. But bad for the muscles and bones.
A hotel in the deep blue sea? I wouldn't trust that hotel to guarantee my safety either.

Part of the allure is the adventure of it. Life is boring without adventure.

Very few people are able to afford such a vacation in space. Why not invest in something basic- how about providing all the drought prone areas of the world with water supplies. Why not solve basic problems instead of creating such money spinners?

I'm afraid solving the problems of droughts isn't a venture that could create much profit. While I know I'll never be able too afford such a vacation, maybe one day my kids or their kids will be able to. Not to mention I wonder how a business venture like this could help shape the world. I foresee a lot of conflict over who has the rights over what territory in space, but this could be a big step in uniting the world. Think how the perspective of people could change once they saw how small our planet is compared to the rest of the universe. This could also lead to innovations in water technology, as they will have to figure out how to keep people fed and hydrated in space, so it could even haven an impact on solving droughts.
