SPACE OPINION

Fancy Something Amazing in the Vastness of Space?

Did you know about the surprising new space hotel coming?

So, let me get a few things straight.

  1. There are far more hotels and bed & breakfasts down here on Earth than can currently meet demands, with rooms constantly going unoccupied, with many of them not fit to stay there either.
  2. Cruise ships are left sailing the oceans with empty cabins.
  3. Prison overcrowding is at an unsafe maximum.
  4. There are simply not enough houses to go around, leaving a disgraceful number of people who are homeless.
  5. The cost of living is making living unbearable for everybody.
  6. Earth already has its very own space graveyard (called Point Nemo) here down beneath our ocean waves.
  7. Our planet’s orbit also has an additional junkyard circling above our heads out there (the Kessler Syndrome.)
  8. Oh, and to top it all off, the International Space Station is going to be decommissioned and flung back to Earth, only to join the growing graveyard down at Point Nemo.
  9. Oh, and not to forget, our landfills are overflowing with rubbish that we can’t learn how to get rid of.
