Vacation in the stars: the first space hotel is scheduled to open in 2027

The US start-up "Orbital Assembly Company" plans to build the first hotel in space by 2027.

A special technique should ensure that guests do not float during their stay.

Vacation in the Maldives?

Old news.

Thanks to Google Maps and Instagram, even the most remote places can be explored from the living room.

Earthly destinations are increasingly losing their appeal for globetrotters.

The thought of vacationing in the depths of space is far more stimulating.

The trend barometer of the travel industry - the US startup “Orbital Assembly Company” (OAC) is certain of this - is clearly pointing in the direction of the moon.

Reason enough for the space construction company to build the first hotel in space.

The space station can accommodate up to 400 guests who are to be offered the full range of luxury hotels.

From themed restaurants and bars to spa areas and fitness studios to boutiques and cinemas.

The greatest attraction of the house, however, is likely to be the

Construction is to begin in four years, and completion will only take two years.

If everything goes smoothly, the “Voyager Station Hotel” could receive its first guests as early as 2027.

And quite “down to earth” in the truest sense of the word.

The guests don't have to float here.

An artificially generated gravity through the rotation of the building should make it possible.

The special feeling of weightlessness can be experienced in specially constructed halls.

What an overnight stay in the first space hotel will cost is still in the stars.

How the guests will arrive is still open.

For the positioning of the space station in earth orbit, a height of between 300 and 1,000 kilometers is planned.

Since spaceships have not yet been part of the Lufthansa fleet, the German airline is not an option for the time being.

It is very likely that Tesla founder and multi-billionaire Elon Musk and his space company SpaceX will win the race for market leadership in space tourism.

However, a lot of money is still needed to get this far, which is why the company is trying to attract investors via the website "The Gateway Foundation".

If not enough money is raised, the check-in in space remains a fiction.
