World's first space HOTEL to begin construction in low Earth orbit in 2025 complete with restaurants, cinemas and rooms for up to 400 guests
- This must be a PR stunt? It generally takes 3-5 years to plan, design & build a skyscraper. But their going to build hotel in space in less then 4 years, lolutopian
- Ah I get it, the whole covid thing was just one big viral marketing stunt for this space hotel!_niko
- I would love to see them pull this off. But their Orbital Assembly logo says all that I need to know.
https://i.imgur.com/…utopian - And their website screams innovation!

- After the Branson launch, kinda felt weird that there was no on board footage of this.kalkal
- And if you thought that Bezos felt Invincible before...utopian
- Is he back already?nb
- Space race is ON again!grafician
- @kalkal Branson is a showman and his flight was about marketing. Bezos is a tech guy and his flight was about capabilities.grafician
- ....and Musk?kalkal
- ^Musk is both, he first sent his car to outer space to show off and will be first to reach Mars as he actually can do it.grafician
- Still I'm surprised there was no on board footage even with that considered, it was presumably a conscious choice to keep it a private experience.kalkal
- I'll put the champagne back into the fridge.sted
- The whole event was cringe afGnash
- Watch out, Graf. You'll trigger the Musk haters!lemmy_k
- musk's cock is 10 times the sizehotroddy
- Waiting for babydick to make his comments in 3...2...grafician
- Branson and Bezos are vain, rich guys in pursuit of space tourism and ego stroking. Musk at least is doing a variety of beneficial things...mg33
- ...Starlink project, sending people and gear to the space station, inventing new rockets.mg33
- Not sure how I feel on the Mars thing, but it's far more inspiring than Bezos / Branson and their "product" that only the richest of the rich will ever enjoy.mg33
- @mg33 people laughed at Bezos before in early Amazon's days, so never say never with this guy. But this flight was indeed cringe afgrafician
- *grafician was therested
- If you think Musk isn't some vainglorious spoiled brat that lucked into a shit ton of money, you haven't been paying attention.garbage
- He's not the brains behind any of his projects. He's the ego born with a massive wallet.garbage
- instead of spending his family fortune like most spoiled brats do, he increased it 100 fold, in engineering and science. don't be so resentful.hotroddy
- he could of turned out like loser heroin addict like hunter biden riding on his dad's coat wings to sell his childish art.hotroddy
- "Don't be so resentful" says the person with the saddest hard-on for Hunter Biden.garbage

- von Braun the man!
But just watch Project Bluebook, he's in it, advancing the inter-dimensional program for the usafgrafician - He actually had a dream of going to Mars as a kid and wrote a book in the 50s about it, the leader of the colony was named Elon.robotron3k
- ^says that right there in his wikipedia bio: "He advocated a human mission to Mars."grafician
- But you have to respect the intellect, this man was way above nazi or usaf, he just wanted to advance human race to a space faring race!grafician

NASA and Axiom Space unveil new spacesuit for Artemis III moon mission
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/nas…
* Note: I don't know if it's the final color, but it's very "dark", closer to what Alien anticipated, rather than 2001 space odyssey... it gives me negative connotations.
- OK. Uh. No. Despite the presence of the fluorescent orange here and there, wouldn't something that dark get lost against the blackness of, you know ... SPACE?Continuity
- black would aid in leaving my handprint in moondust on the ass of my fellow spaceman as I gleefully bounced by him / her nearly weightless and full of joyPonyBoy

- Is Dave Coulier going to space?hotroddy

- I would've thought that purely physically it'd be simpler and more preferable to have white suits, but I don't think it's a major concern to not have them so.Nairn
- i'm curious to know why they've gone this route - presumably there must be a reason? I think practical restrictions like visibility are moot...Nairn
- ..if the suit's that far away and doesn't have energy/etc, they're fucked anyway. could do some cool things with LEDs or eLight inserts and such.Nairn

Stumpled upon a random video on youtube talking about a ninth Planet coming into our solar system and it's massive in size.
- *stumbledBeeswax
- I like this theoryHayoth
- Welcome to the neighborhood!CyBrainX
- some other theories say that this is a brown dwarf star, not a planet...grafician
- as the most common star systems in the Universe are actually binary systems and our sun Sol had a twin brother so this might be it...grafician
- so ths sun's light is abviously too far and weak to illuminate it but shouldn't we have other proof? Like it blocking the light of other stars as it passes them_niko
- @_niko not on this proposed elliptic movement, also when you search for your keys all over the house they were actually right in front of you...grafician
- so we might easily look at other galaxies with out current equipment, but it is very hard to spot things in our own solar system - we simply can't for nowgrafician
- we can only detect things by their gravitational pull/push if the sun doesn't shine on them this close - for nowgrafician
