Based on mycase history, I expect Musk will get to Mars before anything happens here.
How is this being funded? Looks like an amazing project but it was hard to raise money to build a small Y for Westfield. Who is providing the 800 million dollars for a non profit museum?
Where is the money supposed to come from?
This is one of those things that sounds great in principle & it’s good to dream big, but if Westfield isn’t careful, the museum & themed hotel will turn out to be a neglected, sticky, and forgotten fad. It sounds like the fever dream of 1950s highway ‘attraction’ and the late great Nickelodeon Hotel.
Traveling kid’s sports have become a real financial burden for families. Broadly, these facts plague Westfield’s economic development strategy; the City gets plenty of visitors thanks to grand park, but each visitor spends a minuscule amount of money because the demographic tends to be cash strapped & low on time.
The museum and hotel would have to be spectacular to get money from this demographic or to attract people to Westfield on their own merits. The museum probably needs a $1B in space artifacts to be worth people’s time & money. It’s not like the museum can make up for the lack of compelling artifacts with Westfield’s non-existent space history or by building a worthwhile observatory (Westfield in the middle of Central IN’s light pollution bubble).
It’s unlikely that a couple boosters from NASA and SpaceX will be enough… If it turns out that Arden Johnson can cash out a billion dollars in Southern Companies Inc. stock to buy cool space stuff, go for it. Otherwise, Westfield just shouldn’t subsidize the hotel nor museum. Too much risk. The rest of the project seems great, though.
Agreed.
If I were a member of Westfield government I would demand this group provide urine samples prior to any further meetings.
Infosys and Cruz’s Lafayette Sq mall are good examples of expensive visions and dreams not being sustainable. This fantasy seems even more so.
At least its not another sports development!
