A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

- No explicitly political content (about political figures, political events, elections and so on), !politicalmemes@lemmy.ca can be better place for that
- Use NSFW marking accordingly
Laittakaa meemejä tänne.
- Odota ainakin 2 kuukautta ennen meemin postaamista uudelleen
- Ei selkeän poliittista sisältöä (poliitikoista, poliittisista tapahtumista, vaaleista jne) parempi paikka esim. !politicalmemes@lemmy.ca

My thoughts exactly .... it will be an orbiting container that will be called a 'hotel' where rich people can launch up to, float inside for an hour and get delivered back to earth for $10 million
They'll repurpose the ISS instead of retiring it due to age and safety concerns. Just like the invisible hand would have wanted.
^ssssssssssssssss^
We're definitively not getting any space hotels within a decade
Two decades however? Possible. I do think we will see the buildup of a lot more space infrastructure this century, but it all depends upon how much the world cares about space and its development
People in the 50's thought the same, and in the 60's, and in the 70's... and in the 2010's...
Yeah for sure, as I said, it hinges upon how interested we actually are in space
But modern computers and manufacturing techniques have made reusable rockets possible, and they exist now, so things are not quite the same as they used to be
Another thing though, our space infrastructure has been improving over the decades, it's just that it mostly consisted of satellites orbiting earth. I mean, look at GPS, that only really came into practical existence in the 90s! And that was a massive thing! (Yes I know technically earlier but still)
