Funhouse in Space: Science Fiction
May. 26th, 2012 04:15 pmWho wants a funhouse in space? Tourists, that's who. Nope, nobody who's actually worked in space or who may have looked out from their tether line and imagined drifting off into space would actually want such a thing, so their PR department's advertising it as if it is R&R for the tired spacer after long hauls is total B.S. Not to say some spacers don’t go there, but you better believe they got comped and they only went because they heard that tourist tail is so easy to get there it's like shooting asteroids into a gravity well. The rest of us stay away. The whole spacer line is just to get the tourists to go, with a giggle and a shiver and maybe the packing of party panties.
