Space sightseeing is going to happen a lot sooner that Sci-Fi books predict. In fact, if you have an extra £700,000 GBP around which is the price of a typical 3 bedroom property in London then in five years from now you could be one of the first off-world voyagers to stay for up to five days in this amazing orbiting hotel built by Orbital Technologies.

Orbital Technologies and Rocket and Space Corporation Energia (RSC Energia) announced today their intentions to build, launch, and operate the world's first Commercial Space Station (CSS). The station will be utilized by private citizens, professional crews as well as corporate researchers interested in conducting their scientific programs on-board the world’s first commercially available human spaceflight platform. 

Costs are not just affordable for members of billionaire’s club. it also is available if you have assets totalling $1million USD and want to blow it on just one trip to this Space Holiday.

The CSS has a crew capability of up to seven people. Space-certified elements, modules and technologies of the highest quality and reliability will be used in the construction of the station. The CSS will be serviced by the Russian Soyuz and Progress spacecraft; as well possibilities that other transport rockets can also send their own holiday makers to the station with the unified docking system that will allow any commercial crew and cargo capability developed in the Unites States, Europe and China. 

If you can afford it then you will be 217 miles above the earth. Once you catch up to the orbiting abode, you’ll settle in with your other crew/comrades tourists or researchers (up to 6 of them) — for an supreme adventure, residing in four cabins aboard the space station.

You will be traveling at 17,000 miles per hour in low earth orbit, you’ll be pampered with all the space focused conveniences you can imagine, such as plenty of gourmet foods, Caviar, Saffron spiced Dishes and specially designed sealed shower, your choice of a vertical or horizontal bed.
