Re: Ballooning in Space - will you go?
Cool article.
Too bad I can't afford this...
It is also a bit of a tease to be that close to outer space but still within Earth's atmosphere.
Although the view would be amazing!
Before you know it, there will be hotels up there... just beyond our atmosphere. Then related types of businesses will boom when people can basically zip up and spend a week or so in space in a less-gravity environment.
Talk about getting away from it all...

Any functional Space Hotel must be built in a geostationary orbit, byond the high atmospheric limits suggested in this balloon ride.
