I follow these folks on youtube as they are looking to establish large scale commercial space station setups. https://gatewayspaceport.com/crew/membership/ Notice the name: Gateway Spaceport I can't think that the name is coincidental. |

So this is a private venture of people who want your money... and all they have to show for it is an anonymous website full of fanboy babble and promises that they'll build a space station? No mention of who any of the people behind this are or where your money will be going, nothing about investment plans, accountability or anything sensible like that? Yes, there's a vague possible Aliens reference, along with a few from other sci-fi such as The Expanse, but that's all I see. It took a bit of Googling to dig up information that should have been provided up front on their own website, but it seems the dream team bringing us space hotels comprises a retired airline pilot, a writer, a graphic designer and a business manager... everything you'd need to sell a pretty picture and an empty idea to someone, but nothing in the way of experience working in space. Compare them with this similar venture: https://orbitalassembly.com/team They at least include accredited scientists and engineers with a history of working on actual spaceflights and related ventures... |

Kind of what I thought. The idea is cool though... |
