If you want to see the sunrise up to 16 times a day, enjoy the feeling of floating in a weightless environment and have the opportunity to admire our beloved Earth from a distance, try signing up for an all-inclusive vacation tour in a super hotel in space, called Aurora Station.
Aurora Station is described as the world's first luxury space hotel. Aurora Station's owner, American aerospace technology company Orion Span, expects to complete construction of the hotel within four years.

Aurora Station is essentially a fully assembled space station, using the most luxurious and advanced facilities. The hotel can accommodate 6 people at a time, including 2 crew members. The company plans to open the hotel to the first guests in 2022.
Of course, the price for a 12-day all-inclusive vacation at the Aurora Station Hotel is not cheap, up to 9.5 million USD/person (nearly 216 billion VND/person). Surely, this sky-high price of a resort tour is beyond the ability of most people to pay.
But Frank Bunger, founder and CEO of Orion Span, asserts: "Our goal is to make space flight accessible to everyone. After launch, Aurora Station will be in service immediately, taking tourists into space quickly, at an unprecedented low price."
During the special tour, which will last for nearly two weeks, the super-rich tourists will fly 321.9 km above the Earth's surface, in low Earth orbit (LEO). Here, they will see breathtaking, distant images of Earth.
Aurora Station will circle the Earth every 90 minutes, meaning visitors will be able to see about 16 sunrises and sunsets every 24 hours.
During their stay at the hotel, guests can participate in experiments on growing food in space, access high-speed wireless internet and video chat with loved ones on Earth as usual. In addition to the experience of floating in a weightless environment, they can also enjoy the stunning view of the northern and southern lights through the hotel windows.
According toCNN, the company has already started accepting deposits of $80,000 for a stay at Aurora Station in four years. In addition, before going on the tour, guests will have to complete a three-month Orion Span Astronaut Certification program.
