Space Hotel in Orbit 320 Kms above

Space Hotel in Orbit 320 Kms above Being rich has never offered so many opportunities for adventure and excess. Man’s imagination is going beyond the creation of the nature. In a recent bid to express your extravaganza fantasy a Russian company, Orbital Technologies, has such pleasures in mind for its proposed Commercial Space Station, a space hotel for tourists and researchers that it hopes to have ready by 2016.

The affair is a little costly at $818,000 to travel via a Soyuz rocket, accompanied by experienced crew, and then another $163,000 for five days and four nights.  A family of four should spend $4 million for a vacation in space.

The hotel will be aimed at wealthy individuals and people working for private companies who want to do research in space, said Sergei Kostenko, chief executive of Orbital Technologies.

The amenities will include vertical or horizontal beds, real food prepared on Earth and sealed showers with running water. The guests will be served with iced tea and fruit juices. Alcohol is strictly prohibited. The waste water would be recycled and the air will be filtered to remove odor and bacteria.

The four-room Hotel in the Heavens would house up to seven guests who would be able to cavort in zero-gravity while watching our planet turn. As the world accumulates more and more billionaires, entrepreneurs are gearing up to offer more demanding ways to thrill them with the ultimate in high-tech thrills.

Apart from space hotels, aerospace companies, propose to fly thrill-seekers on rocket flights to the edge of space. In addition, billionaires may soon be able to buy their own artificial countries built in international waters on oil rig-type platforms. Or they could buy high-performance submarines that will allow them to dive and explore the deepest parts of oceans. Oh my god, where are our imaginations stretching us to.
