“We have calculated that there are 40,000 people in the world who could afford to stay at the hotel. Whether they will want to spend money on going into space, we just don’t know.”
These words from Xavier Claramunt, company director for the upcoming three-bedroom space hotel set to launch in 2012. The price for a three-day stay? A cool $4 million.
Aside from the three days in space, guests will also receive “eight weeks of intensive training at a James Bond-style space camp on a tropical island.” Seems like a lot of work for a vacation.
The space hotel will cost an estimated $3 billion to build and can hold up to six people. So if $4 million is too rich for your blood, maybe see if some of your rich buddies want to go halfsies.
This is very cool only if I can have $4 million by the year 2012.
SHUT UP! I MAKE THAT IN A WEEK!!!!!!!!!! <3 :)
Wow. That is pretty intense and expensive…And for such a small hotel…Will it have a swim room? :-)
What’s with the TIE fighter windows? Are they really that good for pressure?
outer space is public property belonging to all humanity. it is like a giant public park, not to be bought and traded by a few. will there be a beverly hills and a compton on the moon and on mars? here is a link to the UN:

I may be interested if they threw in a pallet of gravol with every room… I am sure the “coolness” factor wares off relatively quickly otherwise.

it will cost alot more than 4mill. getting there would cost in the millions.
In space, ALL rooms are swim rooms.
Nice lo-cal for a honeymoon, zero G (GEE!) sex ;P
If we redesign the HLV pre-launch, after it reaches orbital velocity we can attach it to other Heavy Lift Vehicles and use it as infrastructure.
The payload will be handled later. All we want is the used HLV,
What ever you want launched, we can lift it.
We designed a piece of infrastructure that requires six HLV’s to complete one structure.
We call it a condo.
We want to rent it out to the public as a hotel.
We designed the condo so it could be used as a transport to any orbit within our solar system.
This condo cannot land on any heavenly body. (But it might be able to move up beside a small asteroid and mine it)
NASA showed us that we can lift 1.5m lbs into a LEO.
NASA leaves the fuel tank to eventually fall back to Earth.
Yet first, NASA brings the 1.5m lbs back to earth in the form of a shuttle, leaving only a small piece of infrastructure in space.
We can leave 1m lbs in space as infrastructure and land a small light 36-passenger vehicle back on Earth.
Our site does not illustrate this clearly.
On our site, we will have a slide show that shows how we can convert all the hardware and soft ware from a shuttle (or Saturn V rocket) to a newly designed HLV.
Using about the same amount of fuel per launch, but lifting six pay loads per launch and after every six successful launches a new piece of infrastructure is produced.
You may look at some of our ideas but most are still hidden.
All questions get answers of the same quality and size as the questions.

This is do-able today with yesterday’s technology.
4.6 million? that`s ok, there are a lot of poor people around the world and you are worried for a hotel in the space!! Oh my God.
“are there swim rooms?” stupid
We are in the hole!!!
I think this is a great idea for someone with an imagination that never stops….
However….
It’s obsurd that our government would allow this…Our economy is in the shape it’s in, and all anyone is worried about it a Space Hotel? Seriously?
I can’t even see the richest of the rich trying this! What a mess our society has become….
if i had 4 million i would go: all men have the right to go to the stars
UMMM THIS IS SO COOL.. AND IF I GET ONE MORE MIL I’LL BE SURE TO GO.
this is abby. ha, like yall know who i am. but anyway. sounds cool, but its quite ridiculous we are spending all this money when we have other things in the economy to worry about. like wow., shows the society where the goverments priorites are! ohhh myyy. : )
We have the technology to go even more in space; the one thing that will kill mankind is money. We shouldn’t have to pay for the dream of a life time, but because of are feeble minds we allow are self’s to get power mad. Why don’t we all take part in these projects, at least then, and only then can we move forward as a species?
