US to return to 'space' using a balloon

Billionaire Dick Branson to co-pilot first crewed space balloon flight

"Space" surely is thousands of miles up, at least.

The lights are out in Cuba (the whole country). The Turpan kids are being molested in foster care after being molested and tortured by their biological parents. Homelessness in California (or is it just L.A.) can be cured for just $100 billion (180,000 unhoused individuals). Los Angeles is broke (thanks, Mayor Karen), and what do we want?

Cake and circuses, spectacles and space! What counts as "space"? Anything 20 miles up will do, but maybe science tries to say 50 miles more officially. Ask the person on the street, who'll probably answer thousands of miles. The moon and sun are in "space." And there a few thousand miles up, according to Eric Dubay, though science would have us believe they are a quarter million miles and 400 times that (100 million miles). Malarkey.

But to dare to question Science today is tantamount to the audacity to tell the Church that they're wrong. Remember Galileo? He was likely wrong but should have had the right to speculate and present his evidence rather than facing a Spanish Inquisition, Vatican investigation, or Catholic excommunication.

Space hotel to open soon?

An astronomical new hotel courtesy of Orbital Assembly? Never mind flying to distant shores for an exciting trip. How about catapulting into space? While it might sound far-fetched, it could soon be a reality. A new space hotel, designed by space construction company Orbital Assembly Corporation, is currently being built and could soon be available for an out-of-this-world vacation.

We'll eventually be enforcing special no man's land laws in the international waters of space.
