Travelers looking for a new adventure might consider looking up for their next voyage in a few years’ time. Houston-based Orion Span is building the world’s first “luxury space hotel” with the opening date set for 2022. Aurora Station, a modular space station named after the light phenomenon that illuminates the earth’s polar skies, will fit six people, including two crew members. There will be four guest suites, but not much room to spread out as is typical in terrestrial luxury stays. /Photo via China News

Before taking off, travelers need to go through a three-month Orion Span Astronaut Certification (OSAC) program to get them astronaut-ready. The hotel will orbit the earth every 90 minutes, which means that visitors can see the sunset and sunrise 16 times a day on average. /Photo via China News

At a price tag of 9.5 million US dollars, the 12-day round trip surely does not come cheap. /Photo via China News
