So, we have a space station where we can have
tourists. What about a five-day holiday in space?
If it makes money, the next step is rather simple.
Building a rely-station in moon orbit. Transfer from
earth station to moon station takes some three
days. But the transfer vehicle is simple. It does
need to get down to earth or down to moon. It just
needs to fly between two pints in space.
Next one is to build a hotel on the moon. Cannot
be too difficult, really.
How to get to the hotel? Again simple: the moon
space elevator. It is rather simple again. It is a real
elevator from a point in space down to the moon
hotel. It is a wire with a capsule. Know technology.
Now we can offer a great package:
3 days on the space station
3 days off to moon.
5 days on the moon with guided tours and walks
Back to earth
Cost: what if it is $10 million? Kardashians could do
it without asking for change.
The areas to improve are:
Capacity up and down to earth station: build the
space elevator from earth to station. This one is
realistic but not simple engineering.
Capacity of earth station: it should be able to cater
for at least 1,000 guests and staff and provide
artificial gravity
Additional zero-gravity capsules
Can it work? Yes, if there is money to be made and
an entrepreneur with vision. We do have those
actually
