I have never taken a cruise but perhaps will one day just for the experience. Your short history of cruises is fascinating. I had not thought about when cruises started. It's a little surprising that it was within my lifetime!
What I find really interesting is how this model could apply to resorts in Earth orbit (and eventually further away). With the continuing SpaceX-driven plummet in launch costs -- how about a piece on that, Gale? -- and efforts by Blue Origin and others, space hotels and then resorts are coming. As a huge space fan who watched all the Apollo launches as a child, I hope to live long enough to be a customer.
You absolutely must take a cruise. You be astonished. As far as “space cruises” go, we can only hope for lots of entrepreneurs to obsess on the idea of making them affordable for everyone. Thanks for reading.
