Blog 39: Space Hotel

This kind of traveling goes beyond the scope of our blog, that is, it's not about going around the world anymore but to outer space.

Reuters put this news release, which I already have seen covered in different media, about a hotel in the space ready to create a list for their guests for 2012.

I am proud to say this is a Spanish enterprise, but I am also skeptical that you can take untrained people to the space in two years.

Of course, this kind of tourism is not like backpacking in Europe. Your bank account needs to be in good shape for this trip: "The Barcelona-based architects of The Galactic Suite Space Resort say it will cost 3 million euro ($4.4 million) for a three-night stay at the hotel, with this price including an eight-week training course on a tropical island."
