It is expected that guests will be able to see the sunrise 15 times per day and turn around the Earth every 80 minutes. The costume of guests will be equipped with Velcro, so if they want, they will be able to move around the room, with the only difference will be that the floor and ceiling will be equivalent.

The representative of Galactic Suite, Claramunt Javier, a former aerospace engineer, believes that his project is for the future: “Fifteen years later you will not be surprised by the idea that your children can go in space for a weekend.”

Initially, Galactic Suite Space Resort will be a module, overflying the planet at an altitude of 450 kilometers at a speed of 30 thousand km/h and will be able to take only four guests and two professional astronauts. The flight to the hotel will take a half day. 43 people have already booked tickets.

The cost of the project is estimated at $3 billion.  The sale of tickets to space  started first  in Austria. The ticket is priced at 210 thousand euros.

Rocket Plane Global company also decided to start space tourism. The first ship is planned to start at the end of the 2011 from the spaceport in the U.S. state of Oklahoma.
