Get excited.
The opportunity to vacation in space may be right around the corner. A Barcelona-based company, Galactic Suite Ltd, plans to open a multi-billion dollar space resort in 2012.
The space pod will circumnavigate the Earth every 80 minutes, giving guests a chance to watch the sun rise 15 times a day.
Weightless space tourists will also “wear Velcro suits so they can crawl around their pod rooms by sticking themselves to the walls like Spiderman,” said Reuters.
Tourists looking for an adventure that is out of this world will have to plunk down around $4.4 million in order to blast off to the Galactic Suite Space Resort. In addition to three nights in orbit, jet-setters will also take part in an eight-week training course on a Caribbean island.
Reuters reported that 43 people have already made reservations for the space hotel, with over 200 more expressing interest in the project.
