 Near-Space Tourism Posted on: Sun Apr 27, 2008 5:16 pmHave you thought about Near-Space Tourism? Basically, instead of building the DSS first, you build a dedicated hotel. That would bring in plenty of revenue for you to build the DSS. Also, commercial flights on the Atmospheric Ascender.

Posted on: Mon Apr 28, 2008 5:13 pm Hello, Terraformer,
if I understand it correct, at least a few DSSs are required to construct a working near-space-hotel. Those few DSSs would be prototypes that would be to small to be used as hotels. What about it? Dipl.-Volkswirt (bdvb) augustin (Political Economist) |

Posted on: Sat May 16, 2009 3:26 pm The altitude requirements for a near space hotel are a lot lower than that of a launch facility for the Orbital Airship. 20km should be high enough to offer a Dark Sky view. The air hotel can then be a lot smaller.
