Unrealistic
I just saw an article about a hotel in space by the year 2027 😆
That is hilarious.
We are about 100 years from anything like that.
Why are space predictions so unrealistic?

Flying cars? Nope, didn't happen.
Mega cities with super technology like in the movie Blade Runner?
Nope, that didn't happen either.

Promises, Promises but they never deliver.

I imagine it is based on fooling investors 🤔
Would you invest in a company that said...
"Invest in our company and in 200 years we will have vacations to Mars!"

No I can't imagine anyone would invest in that but if you tell them we will have a hotel in space in a few years they fall for it 😆

Our rockets still explode on the launch pad so I imagine we are a lot dumber than we think.

Private Space Tourism
That is now, 2021.

For a space hotel we need but loft a capsule into orbit--the Russians had a manned orbital spy station, an espionage hotel, in the 1960s.

Can someone do this in a mere six years? I think it is entirely possible. I'm not sure concrete plans are in the works, but the US went from a handful of billionaires to over 400 in just the past few years. Wealth concentration has bloomed under conservative fiscal policies. Can certainly see a market for this within six years. Absolutely!

Will it happen that fast? Maybe not. Flying cars are STILL on the horizon, but driverless trucks are on the nation's freeways now.

A Century?
We went from horse and buggies and the very first heavier than air aircraft to men walking on the lunar surface in fifty years. So much can happen.
