In 2012, a Barcelona Hotel company will begin accepting its first payments for a few lucky (and rich) vacationers to go to a destination out of this world…literally. The Barcelona based architects of The Galactic Suite Space Resort say it will cost about 3 million euro ($4.4 million) for a three night stay at the terrestrial destination. Its not all fun and games in space because along with the space trip guests will have to endure an eight week training course on a tropical island. During there stay at the hotel guests will be able to experience the sun rise 15 times a day and travel around the world about once every hour. They would have to wear Velcro suits just so they can crawl around their pod rooms by sticking themselves to the ceiling and walls just like Spiderman does it. Ideas for this hotel have already started and Scientists say it wouldn’t be hard to believe that in 15 years you could be floating in space with your kids. British Billionaire Richard Branson has plans to launch his space tours program from the hotel at an outstanding $200,000 dollars a ride. Galactic Suite set up in 2007, hopes to start its project with a single pod in orbit 280 miles above the earth, traveling at 30,000 km per hour, with the capacity to hold four guests and two astronaut pilots. It will take a total of a day and a half to reach the pod, with no body to greet them at the door. When passengers arrive in the rocket, they will join it for 3 days, rocket and capsule. With this we create in the tourist a confidence that he hasn’t been abandoned. After three days the passenger returns to the transport rocket and returns to earth. What will we think of next?
