Staring out across grand skylines from space is quite an amazing experience- the experience of the austronaut's life. I would rather think that life in space is all about floating with nothing like gravity pull. Well, I'm not entirely wrong because this is the experience the Aurora station has brought though not evident yet but will soon.
This is to introduce the first ever space luxury hotel developed by a U.S based space tech company "Orion Span" which will provide services immediately after it's launch expected to be in late 2021 and guests will be arriving the station in 2022. Long time, but the saying that "good things don't basically come easy" is so true because the experience is worth the wait.
The experience;
Earth's orbit around the sun has been the song since the very tender age and here comes the opportunity of a lifetime when the space hotel will be orbiting the earth at a height of 320km above earth's surface and at every 90 minutes which travellers will see an average of 16 sunrise and sunset on a daily basis. The station will host 6 people at a time including one or more professional astronauts and lots of pictures will be taken and shared as well.
The promise;
"Aurora station is incredibly versatile and has multiple uses beyond the hotel - supporting zero gravity research, space manufacturing, offer full charter to space agencies who are looking to achieve human space flight in orbit and sell dedicated modules as the world's first condominiums in space''- Frank Bunger(CEO and founder of Orion Span). Nothing can be more mouthwatering than this when it comes to space sojourning and science as a whole. In our minds there is a comparison to hotels like...

With Dubai having a firm presence in the world's luxurious lifestyle, standout hotels are a tip on the iceberg. 'Everything is bigger' is a statement used to refer to Taxas as 'everything is grander' is to Dubai. You are set for a serious 'ding' from your bank account because the Burj Al Arab is one of the tallest offshore hotel in the world with it distinct Arabian Dhow Sail shape and the rooms are priced at $1,200 per night.

Talking about space-the views at the Gevora Hotel is likened to the space because it is surrounded by cloud especially with room on one of the upper floors. You will never get drunk in these hotel because it's an alcohol-free hotel.
You are wondering why I mentioned these hotels? But the purpose is to try and have a view of what we are expecting. Seeing a Hotel that is bound by gravity- are we expecting the features of these hotel to be likened to the Royal Hotel in India with priceless and beautiful decor? Or the the hotel that features 'magic' in space like the pool. Or the hotel with less spending but much dinning. What about 'le grand hôtel' or are we in for action? For sure Dubai's Gevora can be a glimpse of it because it's in space and theres cloud. Yes! Science is crazy and factual-anticipating this magic to happen soon.
