There is something about living in an inflatable habitat in orbit that doesn't inspire confidence. Bigellow Aerospace has said that when the habitat is fully inflated it's shell is as hard as concrete and is micro-meteor resistant, there selling there BA-330 habitat moduals for 100 million dollars each and with SpaceX offering launch services for as little as 90 million to orbit, i think space tourism isn't far away but would you stay in an inflatable habitat in space?

  1. I think the launch and recovery would be riskier than the module, but that's not saying much. Space flight is risky regardless of the precautions or lack of precautions taken. It's always the stuff that you don't expect that bites you in the butt. Would I feel safe? No. In the past, that wouldn't have stopped me. Now, I'll let someone else go.
