I love space but this feels like something most people couldn’t afford, and even still the super rich would only try it once. I guess if they can make a profit that’s all that matters.

The only thing different about a space hotel is the view, getting a zero-g experience, and a few extra ways that you can die during your visit. Everything else can be done here on the ground easier, cheaper, faster, safer. How long can a guest safely live there? Aren’t astronauts limited to something like 1-2 years in space because of all the radiation? Does that mean staff have to sign waivers and be rotated every year?
