chapter 5 everybody hates a tourist

5.      Space tourism: everybody hates a tourist 

Many private space travelers have objected to the term "space tourist.” 

Space tourism will increase the commercial activity in the time of poor state of world economy. Space tourism will become a new area of commercial endeavor and give employment to thousands of people. Manufacturing of new and better spacecraft will give employment to many skilled people.

Tourists will create more tourists and popularize this nightmare. 

This is the whole shit show in one bubble. For example, let’s discuss Bigelow Aerospace, located in the tourist hell that is Las Vegas, a company owned by yet another whiteman billionaire. This billionaire owns hotels here on earth.

So being in the club, in the know, and well connected, Bigelow started an aerospace company after somehow getting the rights to inflatable space technologies. These are technologies which NASA studied and developed with our tax dollars. 

Bigelow’s plan is to take these well-funded ideas and start a space hotel company: to move the hotel industry into low earth orbit, with plans to have two hotels launching in 2021. Space tourism and hotels on the moon and Mars are also in the works. 

Tourism and the hotels that go with it are just yet another business model for space, along with research, manufacturing, medicine/pharmaceutical, communications, and, of course, the military. 

Businesses require hotels and being pampered by workers in the private sector, draped in red, white, and blue uniforms of servitude.

Tourism is like gentrification: it is the first step toward normalizing being in places where you do not belong.
