yeah and scientists have been “just a few years away” from preventing the aging process for about 25 years now. I have a feeling it’s not going to happen in 2027
Not in 2037 either. Setting up the ISS took well over a decade to build, a station like that will cost billions, if not trillions and will require decades of cooperated work.
Ain’t gonna happen in 2047 either. Try STARTING this around 2057, perhaps.
There’s no technological barrier to starting it now we have all the capabilities, there’s only a financial constraint.
SpaceX has significantly reduced lift cost into space but it would indeed cost trillions. Current lift capacity isn’t saturated but they would definitely need the additional capacity of their next gen rocket to service it and then multiples of those. Unless Boeing and Blue Origin get their shit together.
Lift capacity becomes less critical if metals mining and refining in the asteroids gets up and running, then you can much less expensively move material from asteroids to the space hotel. That’s def decades away though, there’s tech issues with that still unresolved
TL;DR start project in 2027 ? Sure if they can find the money, definitely take decades to finish with currently planned lift capacity though. Needs asteroid mining to be viable
SpaceX has significantly reduced lift cost
No they haven’t. Musk keeps lying about that as he lies literally about everything else, but they haven’t reduced cost as they change pretty much the same as others.
There are also still MANY tech hurdles to overcome as well.
