(We realy need a news forum)
Apparently, in 2012 one can go into space for a vacation. It'll cost a shit load, but still, YOUR STAYING IN FUCKING SPACE. How cool is that?

News can stay here as said before. But anyway, due to physics stuff, space has no pressure on the outside but we have enough pressure on the inside to counterbalance our Earth's atmospheric pressure. Without a pressurized suit, you would expand like a pancake. You'd need a pressurized suit on at all times unless they can pull off something crazy by 2012.

Could be interesting.

I believe this as much as I believe that 2012 is the end of the world, which is none.

Ah yes Justin, the whole Miyan Calender thing. Quite an interesting civilisation, fairly ahead of their time.

As far as space travel goes, I doubt we'll be able to go to space as a vacation. Pysics is something I know nothing about, but I'm fairly sure in 3 years time we wouldn't be that far ahead of where we currently are.

Its a space station. Forgot to mention that.

We don't need to be spending that kind of money on space stuff. We should be spending (in America at least) and all.

I fail to see the value in it. You go to space and... what? Float around in zero-g? Eat astronaut-grade dried ice cream? Look at the big blue planet in the same way you could in four dozen movies?

Floating around would be cool as shit but everything else isn't really worth it considering the cost will be crazy.
