The age of space tourism might be closer than as dream. In fact, the cost for five days to stay is $US1 million ($964,041) lying around, five years from now we could be one of the first off-world adventurers to stay for five days in orbiting hotel built by Russian company Orbital Technologies.




We will get there via a Russian Soyuz rocket, taking us about a day to reach the Commercial Space Station 217 miles above the earth. Once we catch up to the orbiting abode, we’ll settle in with — up to six other space tourists (or researchers) — for an unparalleled adventure, residing in four cabins aboard the space station.
