California-based startup Orion Span announced their plans to launch the world’s first dedicated “luxury space hotel,” called “The Aurora Station”. It’s set to blast off into space in 2021, and the company hopes it will be able to accommodate space-tourists by 2022, if all goes smoothly. A total of four people at a time will be able to stay on board the spacecraft, accompanied by two former astronauts (crew members). Have $9.5-million? If so, that’ll be good for a 12-day stay, and you’ll need to put down an $80,000 deposit to get yourself on the waiting list. The spacecraft measures 43 feet long by 14 feet wide, and will orbit the Earth at an altitude of around 200 miles, meaning it will complete an orbit every 90 minutes, meaning passengers will be able to watch 16 sunrises and sunsets every day.
