Holiday in Space: hotel on track to open in 2012

[SOURCE]. For a mere $5,000,000.00 – that’s five million dollars, you can spend three days in a space resort, 450 km about the Earth. Wow. I’d love to spend 3 days in space, watching the sun rise 15 times a day and spinning around the world 80 times. It sounds really nice.  They even throw […]
