We host up to 6 people at a time. One or more of those guests may include professional astronauts from space agencies around the world. At an altitude of 200 miles, your views will be far superior than those of other space destinations: close enough for great detail and photographing your hometown, far enough to get a glimpse of our broader pale blue dot. With an orbit complete every 90 minutes, you’ll see countless sunrises and sunsets.
What the actual room will look like isn’t yet known, but the rooms can fit two. Which will make them perfect for couples looking to go on a romantic two-week getaway. However, in order to prepare for the trip, applicants will need to undergo a three-month certification process.
If you have $10 million laying around, you can make your reservation now. You might want to move fast, however!
