Space Hotel to Open in 5 Years!

At a cool US $4 million for a three-day stay, the Galactic Suite, the first hotel in space (with the most expensive hotel rooms), has been unveiled by a Barcelona-based architect.

Opening for business in 2012 guests get to travel around the world in 80 minutes. Reservations will begin next year for the aluminium vessel made of five modules, which is to be launched by rockets into space.

The most expensive hotel room to-date, will give guests the opportunity to see the sunrise 15 times a day. Guests will also be able to participate in scientific experiments during their stay in the hotel, 450 km from earth.

The biggest challenge about hotel rooms in zero gravity – the bathrooms. Presumably that little difficulty will be resolved prior to lift off. Yah, no kidding!
