A hotel in space could open doors for those few who have been lucky enough to look and feel the immensity of the universe from their skin, either through a space suit or through a small robot that sends constant images of the landscapes of the galaxy or other planets. Many others, from the cities and fields, observe the skies waiting for the night to reveal the presence of the stars, which is where the stars become present. But now, five-star hotels will be in space.
A New Vision for the Future in Space
The Gateway Foundation recognized that one of the experiences that people most want is to experience a trip to space; get lost for a moment in the immensity of the universe, experience that silence, and observe the Earth from a distant point. With that goal in mind, the foundation developed the Von Braun Space Station project; a rotating station (like a Ferris wheel) that will function as a space hotel, which will have a gym, kitchen, restaurant, bar, and individual rooms such as villas or suites.
Now the stars will be closer than you ever imagined thanks to the idea of Wernher von Braun, a German scientist recruited by NASA who sought to create the first spaceport in history that could house a hotel comfortable enough to spend a few nights far from Earth
Comfortable Experience of Pure Hotel Knowledge in Space
The space hotel will have the shape of a huge wheel that will be composed of two rings joined by stabilizing arms to keep guests in place, who will have access to the station through pressurized tubes that will connect the inner ring with the outer ring. Furthermore, air and gravity will not be a problem because this space hotel will have technology that is applied in space agencies to make people feel completely free to walk through the structure.
This space hotel will be in orbit in 2027 and will not only be a luxurious space that will provide the best service for the comfort of guests, but it will also be a connection between human curiosity and the universe. It will be a new way to be close to the stars, get to know a part of the universe, see the movement of the Earth, and guarantee that millions of people can live one of the best experiences that humanity has created.
