What’s your idea of a memorable vacation? Paris, London, or Rome? Well, you haven’t seen anything yet. In 2022, if the first luxury space hotel opens on time, you can take a trip to outer space and book a stay at the Aurora Station, which will speed around Earth at an altitude of about 200 miles (322 km). A 12-day trip to the heavens is expected to cost about $9.5 million USD per person -- or about $790,000 a night. The hotel will orbit the Earth every 90 minutes, which means a maximum of six guests will see around 16 sunrises and sunsets every 24 hours.
The trip of a lifetime:
The interior of the hotel has been compared to being aboard a Gulfstream jet, with approximately 35 feet by 14 feet (11 m by 4 m) of total space.
Aurora Station guests will experience life in Low Earth Orbit, or LEP, where they will be able to witness incredible views of both Earth and deep space.
Reservations are being taken by Houston-based Orion Span for an $80,000 USD deposit. The authentic astronaut adventure begins with a three-month training session on Earth.
