Luxury hotel vacations in space? Can already book
A new startup plans to open a luxury hotel in space by taking advantage of the space travel revolution, led by companies such as Virgin Galactic and Blue Origin. This is not futuristic science fiction. Travel is planned for the next few years, as can be confirmed in the recent tests of Richard Branson's company.If we currently only hear about passenger transport companies in space, where will they stay? Unless they "sleep in the car," they will have to look for an overnight stay, and this is where Orion Span, a startup intending to put a luxury hotel in orbit in 2021, will begin to receive tourists the following year.



On the official website of the hotel you can even make reservations for the stay, paying a fee to guarantee a place on the waiting list for $ 80,000, which can ask for a return if not selected. The total price of the stay for these 12 days, possibly unforgettable, is 9.5 million dollars per person. The price includes a three-month training program and round-trip transportation. Note that the Orion Span can only accommodate four guests at a time along with the two transport crew.

The company promises an astronaut experience to its guests, with activities ranging from planting food into space, taking part in investigations, plunging into zero and clear gravity and observing the most incredible space landscapes.According to the official website, the hotel will make orbits to Earth every 90 minutes, allowing tourists to watch 16 times at sunrise and sunset every 24 hours.
