The Galactic Suite Space Resort and Virgin Galactic have customers lined up but do they have enough?
According to this article, Virgin Galactic has 300 customers lined up. The Galactic Suite Space Resort has 43 reservations.

Then again, the start-up costs must be pretty significant. I suppose the $4.4 million you pay for a 3 night stay in the space hotel must go a long way to covering those costs though.
Is it worth 4.4 million dollars. Maybe if you have it:
During their stay, guests would see the sun rise 15 times a day and travel around the world every 80 minutes. They would wear Velcro suits so they can crawl around their pod rooms by sticking themselves to the walls like Spiderman.Plus you get 8 weeks training on a tropical island...
