hotel in orbit – opens 2012

It is pricey, very much so but it looks like some companies are finally determined that there are enough people on earth that have enough

– money
– free time
– guts

to fly to earth’s orbit to spend some days in zero-G

Found at Engadget, they talk about the planned opening of the “Galactic Suite” in 2012.

Let’s hope that this is not a PR stunt or a project to raise money for whatever.. but they talk about toilet design (“a challenge”) and shower design and the building of a spaceport already, so it can’t be that far from reality :)

If I start saving today, I might have enough in.. 2075.. darn
