First hotel in space? Russian company plans to build a hotel in space

   Ever wondered what Earth would be like from 200 miles up in space? If you have an extra million dollars lying around your house then this holiday will be the best time of your life! The first space hotel is going be launched in 2016 by Russian space group, Energiya with partnership with US firm Orbital technologies. It can house up to seven people or tourists and offers the best holiday of a lifetime with breathtaking views of space and Earth itself. A six-star hotel with 360 degree views of the Earth. Meal courses are also prepared for you down on Earth by professional and master chefs. But in case you are wondering to have a holiday this big you must do special training three months or so prior to the launch date.

   The 21st century is, no doubt, the age of advancing technology and space exploration. Space travel inspires so many people nowadays only the fittest, most intelligent astronauts and scientists can travel in space. However what are the activities aboard the Russian space hotel? Not much. Basically you're inside the space hotel will plenty of internet and satellite TV. So any of you planning a trip don't take the kids! They will get bored easily! There are also no showers although wet wipes are provided. Alcohol is also banned because of health and safety reasons.

   Although the hotel doesn't have that much recreational activities the Russian space station was also primarily built for stop-overs by manned circumlunar flights. Trips to the far side of moon will be day trips rather than week-long space-flights.

Big Cash for Russian Company

   The Russian company plans to operate this hotel next year, sending passengers and scientists up in space for trips to the International Space Station or stays at their hotel. The actual cost of it is unclear however estimates are about a million dollars. This money is planned to fund the Russian space exploration program. 

   Private flights and investments will be key to the project's success. The age of space tourism has started. So in case you have a million dollars lying around and you're not too busy book your next adventure now and have the trip of a lifetime!
