Space tourism is catching on, and that’s no wonder considering humanity’s love and curiosity for the vast expanse of the universe. Plus, the Galactic Suites will probably be a nice place for spaceships from the Space Port to dock at. And of course, it won’t be like a visit to any of the other hotels, those staying will have to wear Velcro-covered clothes. Each pod will have room for four people, and there will be two astronauts in the attached rocket.



The hotel will orbit the Earth every 80 minutes, so you’ll have plenty of opportunity to watch the mesmerizing sunrise from space. This isn’t going to come cheap, the costs will reach $4.4 million, including an eight-week training schedule on the Earth. Galactic Suites CEO Xavier Claramunt says the hotel should be functional and open to customers by 2012.
