Scary part is that they are actually constructing this "Glass Elevator". I've heard about this from both Slashdot and my Hotel and Restaurant Admin professor. In addition to the space elevator, plans are already being developed for these space hotels in which we will one day be able to visit and view our earth from a completely new perspective. My prof and I have had a few e-mail conversations concerning space tourism. The following is an earlier e-mail that he send to me: Japan and the U.S. already have hotel prototypes as well as flying machines that will fly from here to Australia in 20 minutes. I am a member of the space tourism society http://www.spacetourismsociety.org/ . If interested please visit this site: http://www.spacefuture.com/home.shtml . I am a futurist and totally believe that soon we may spend a weekend in space for less than flying 10 hours to France.
