Poll: Space Hotel

[Blue_vision]

AS long as there are more than 8x8 foot cabins and 3 foot diameter metal tubes connecting them, I don't get peppered with hyper-velocity space pebbles, and the shuttle isn't prone to blowing up in transit, hell yes.
Living in space with current technology SUCKS. I'd rather live in Iraq.
Now, go forward 50 years or so and I'm sure I'd be more enthusiastic.

Pretty much this. I could see LEO becoming quite the interesting place in the future, but that takes investment. I don't care whether it's a government or private companies doing it, I just want it nice!
I'd probably pay some good money to go up to a space hotel, hopefully on a space elevator. I'd probably just sit around in zero-g with some friends. It seems more of the thing to do because of the environment rather than any particular experience you may have.

I would not go because space travel is stupid.

Or, more accurately, I wouldn't go because in my humble opinion, space tourism is stupid.

Space exploration is a great idea, though.

If you could pay $10,000 to go into a hotel in space for two weeks, would you do it? (for arguement's sake, you have the money)

Details:
Major one - There would be simulated gravity, caused by building the space station in a circle then rotating it at a set speed. This eliminates many problems with prolonged freefall (like bone loss and nausea).

You would have to pay for meals separatly, but there would be high and low budget options (some french chef or McD's and everything inbetween).

You could pay $25,000 for first class (more cabin space, better furniture, etc).

You could go on 3 "gravity flights" in a shuttle, orbiting the earth a few times.

How you would get up there? As of now, same way NASA does it (or rather, how they don't do it anymore, so how they used to...), strapped to a rocket and blasted away. But it is the future, so maybe a space elevator (same way a normal elevator works, except the cable goes to a space station in a geosyncronus (that means it stays above the same spot on the earth) orbit.

DISCUSS!
Oh and it's not letting me edit the damn poll... So let's say you do have the money for it.

Can i just take the money and use it for something else?

Fuck yeah, if had the money to be able to afford it I would. I find space fascinating and have always wondered what it would be like to live without gravity. Plus it would be amazing to see Earth (first hand, not pictures) from space.
