Watch this space

If you are the type of person that hankers after an adventure holiday rather than two weeks on the beach in the sun - you couldn’t ask for more than this latest trip - the company behind the first hotel in space has revealed that is on target to accept its first paying guests in 2012...

The Barcelona-based architects of The Galactic Suite Space Resort have had to deal with a great deal of criticism from those questioning the investment and time frame for the massively expensive, billion dollar project.

Planning to open a hotel whilst the world is in the grip of recession may seem like a rather, er, brave, idea to start with, let alone to open one in unchartered territory - literally.

And, as you might have guessed, a holiday at this hotel doesn’t exactly come cheap - guests will pay a staggering £2.6 million for a three-night stay at the hotel, with this price including an eight-week training course on a tropical island.

But it will certainly offer some truly unbeatable sights - during their stay, guests will see the sun rise 15 times a day and travel around the world every 80 minutes.

They would wear velcro suits so they can crawl around their pod rooms by sticking themselves to the walls.

Galactic Suite Ltd’s CEO Xavier Claramunt, a former aerospace engineer, said the project will put his company (www.galacticsuite.com) at the forefront of an infant industry with a huge future ahead of it, and forecast space travel will become common in the future.

"It’s very normal to think that your children, possibly within 15 years, could spend a weekend in space," he said.

Galactic Suite Ltd is starting off the project with a single pod in orbit 450 km above the earth, traveling at 30,000 km per hour, with the capacity to hold four guests and two astronaut-pilots.

Guests will travel to the pod in Russian rockets from a spaceport to be build on an island in the Caribbean.

It will take a day and a half to reach the pod and the rocket they travel in will stay ‘moored’ to the pod so guests don’t feel nervous about getting home again. After three days they will get back into the rocket and return to earth.

According to the firm, 43 people desperate for an ‘out of this world experience’ have already reserved tickets on the first trip.
