I disagree completely. These are places to work, not places to raise
your family and grow old with your friends. They sometimes do have
accomodations for families, but only to support the primary purpose,
which is to work. Isolated, small cities such as Yellowknife, CA and
island communities are better analogies.

Space tourism could be our ticket to the stars. Save your pennies,
suborbital flights for $100,000 may start in 2005! See
