There's absolutely no way a space hotel will be operational in 2027.
But it's more likely than public healthcare in the USA in 2027.

I mean maybe some billionaire will convince (pay) NASA to dock some capsule with a sleeping bag to the ISS and other billionaires can go sleep in that sleeping bag. It is technically a hotel, but it will definitively not be like in the picture...

If some idiot breaks every rule like with the submarine, maybe they'll get one up there. And then kill everyone in it.
They can get their nephew who's good at the "space games" to pilot the ship too!
Cheap bastards won't even chip in for a decent HOTAS or a hall effect modded elite controller I bet.

Since it’s going to be rich clowns that make the trip up there, I’m fine with both happening.

Can we send Musk?
He wants to go to Mars. Hopefully he will stay there. And run out of air.
I think he just wants to send other people to Mars.
And it's possible that he really just wants to send military and commercial satellites into orbit but to dangle the promise of Mars as marketing.

How many seats do democrats need to make a singlepayer option without Republican help?
Supermajority in both Senate and House?
Genuine question, I'm not overly familiar with the nitpicks.
Majority in House, supermajority of 60 in the Senate, practically speaking.
PROBLEM:
Not all Democrats are onboard with universal healthcare. Hence the fiasco in 2009.
It takes a lot of effort and nuance to pass a good idea. It only takes one shithead (republican) flinging poop to muddy the waters, so it's incredibly hard to pass good legislation.
You need like 65 Democrats to even have a chance, but that will be very hard since R voters are dumb as bricks and if Trump didn't wake them up to their stupidity, nothing will.

It's pretty much impossible for something to implode in space. You're already in a vacuum so there is no ambient pressure to press on an object.
Don't ruin it for me.
It can however explode, since there's more pressure on the inside.
Don't listen to him, I have a Miele vacuum and there's loads of pressure in it

The solution is so simple. Vote overwhelming for progressive, and get rid of the centrists and Republicans.
We'd have free, universal healthcare within a couple of years.
First you need overwhelming numbers to join the Democrat party to make sure a progressive candidate gets leadership of the party. Otherwise it will just be Hillary Clintons beating out Bernie Sanders every time.

Assuming USA, it unfortunately means doing this in the primaries. Good luck getting people to show up to those and vote progressive.
Simple isn't always easy.

No it won't.
Not in 2027
Not in 2037
These projects are little more than scams, just like Mars 1; pure nonsense
Maybe 2127 if we did not regressed to the stone age

It flies like a Hilton, but handles like a Motel-Six.
This sounds like a line from The Simpson’s.
I can see Gil saying this at the used space hotel dealership.
Not far off: Futurama. "She's built like a steakhouse, but she handles like a bistro."

The only consolation is that a billionaire that stays up there has a high probability of exploding in a fiery death. It helps me sleep at night knowing that.
Like that duche that imploded in the sea. News was freaking out, meanwhile I was like "nothing of value was lost"

I think those that can afford a space hotel do not worry about healthcare.
no no billionaires only implode on makeshift submersibles, in space they explode
So this is how Elysium starts?
yeah and scientists have been "just a few years away" from preventing the aging process for about 25 years now. I have a feeling it's not going to happen in 2027
It could, but it wont look like that. It will be a single room capsule with lunchables and adult diapers.

I saw this episode of For All Mankind already. It doesn't go well for the hotel.
only available for billionaires!
Don't worry the Vermicious Cnids will take care of that one for us on the house.
I mean, I think it could actually be a good thing to drive innovation in space travel.
