Let's spend the night in space. Perhaps this is an invitation that is implicitly expressed Russia. The company's state government, Energia, working with start-up company called Orbital Technologies plans to build hotels in space.
The plan was first disclosed last year. Today, the company plans two more steady course. As reported by FoxNews, they've set up hotels and package design experience that can be enjoyed by guests.
Sergei Kostensko, chief executive of Orbital Technologies, said, "we were planning the hotel module will not alert you to the International Space Station (ISS). The hotel should provide comfort in it and lets see the Earth through the 'window' that much."
The experience of seeing the Earth from the hotel promised a memorable experience. Almost the entire Earth scenery portrayed astronauts in the ISS will be visible from Earth is round and blue, until the sun rises a different view.
The hotel also promises a unique culinary experience. One package of stew beef cheek menu is served with mushrooms, mashed white beans, and candied plums. All food will be cooked on Earth and will be heated by microwave before serving.
Hotel guests can choose the two chambers, namely the vertical and horizontal. Rooms will also be equipped with a shower, but is designed so that water use effective. Flush toilets do not use water to remove dirt, but wearing the air. So that the hotel does not smell, the air will be filtered before entering the cabin.
Because it offers a unique experience, the price was too. So, do not be surprised. The total cost of the plane and stay at the hotel for five days is about USD 8.5 billion. Amounting to Rp 1.5 billion for the cost of plane PP and approximately $ 7 billion to hotels.
When this experience can be enjoyed? At Reuters (09/30/2010) and then, Alexander Derechin from Energia said, "I think we have not been able to realize this plan before 2015, but we also do not have to wait long after that." FoxNews reported, in 2016 the hotel has been opened.
Hotel projects in this space would not have to cost a bit. Orbital Technologies has not said the amount of investment, but they believe the benefits could be achieved. "Must we expect to benefit, this is pure business," he told the AP last year.
For those who are able to reach that cost, offer this experience is worth trying. So far, only one pleasure on earth that can not be enjoyed in this hotel, which is drinking alcohol. Moreover, guests can explore.
