Orbiting hotels
Richard Branson is undeniably a gadfly, but this is just plain awesome, in the most awesome sense of the word:
Virgin Galactic's chief operating officer revealed Friday at the National Space Society's 26th Annual International Space Development Conference that the suborbital spaceliner research and development company is in talks with space mogul Robert Bigelow to use his expanding modules to create Virgin Galactic orbiting hotels.
I so totally want to stay in an orbiting hotel. But how would toilets and showers work?
