   First-ever space hotel slated to be oper   
   02 Mar 21 09:19:28   
   
   "This decade will see the start and completion of construction on humanity’s    
   first hotel in outer space, according to the group behind it, Orbital   
   Assembly.    
      
   The 3-year-old company plans to begin building Voyager Station in low Earth    
   orbit in 2025, and believes its interstellar resort may be operational as soon    
   as 2027, the Daily Mail reported.    
      
   Renderings of the celestial hotel are cosmic-chic: Individual pods are    
   attached to a rotating wheel, with tubes connecting the different areas    
   forming an X, similar to the wheel’s spokes.   
      
   Guests won’t be paying only for the novelty of the setting — there will be   
   a    
   slew of onboard amenities, including themed restaurants, a health spa, a    
   cinema, gyms, libraries, concert venues, Earth-viewing lounges and bars, in    
   addition to rooms for 400 people. Necessities including crew quarters, air,    
   water and power will also take up a portion of the space facility."
