Earth orbit has:
A continuum of accelerations, down to zero g.
Hard vacuum.
A sense of place that is not Earth surface.
Do they look like they are having fun?:

- rsheridan6 18y agoThat would be fun until you had to take a piss.
- gravitycop 18y agoIndeed. Moving away from the axis-of-rotation increases acceleration. When you are ready, you can go back to zero-g, or .5 g, or 1 g, or 1.5 g, etc. Instead of having to pay thousands of dollars each for airplane parabola rides, it is all right there. For the same reasons that ski bums live near ski slopes, zero-g bums might live near zero-g. When you live in a spinning orbital habitat, you can have rapid inexpensive access - a veritable season pass - to a variety of acceleration levels.
