Hotel In Space By 2012?

Buying a Ferrari might give you bragging rights, but let’s face it… there are tens of thousands of people who own Ferrari’s, so it’s not exactly an exclusive club. What -is- an exclusive club? Staying at a hotel of course… in space. If this intrigues you, then you might be in luck just five years from now. This hotel would orbit the Earth a total of once every eighty minutes, or eighteen times per day. One thing is for sure… this would be an incredible experience. It might be wise to begin saving up your $4 million now.

Its Barcelona-based architects say the space hotel will be the most expensive in the galaxy, costing $4 million for a three-day stay. During that time guests would see the sun rise 15 times a day and use Velcro suits to crawl around their pod rooms by sticking themselves to the walls like Spiderman. Company director Xavier Claramunt says the three-bedroom boutique hotel’s joined up pod structure, which makes it look like a model of molecules, was dictated by the fact that each pod room had to fit inside a rocket to be taken into space.
