If you are tired of the Mediterranean and do not want to head to Disney again, perhaps its time for a summer holiday in space? Would not it be cool if you had the option of spending your summer vacation orbiting the Earth? Actually, this will be possible very soon!
Russian engineers have announced the ultimate get-away-from-it-all holiday, revealing plans to put a hotel into orbit 200 miles above Earth by 2016. Russian firm Orbital Technologies has revealed plans to build the first hotel in outer space, set to launch into orbit, 217 miles above the Earth's surface. Finally, a hotel where every room has an oceans-side view.

Space Hotel
A five day stay in the hotel will cost around $165,430, plus the $827,500 rocket trip up there (unless solar sails somehow drop the cost). But unlike most millionaire-frequented hotels, this one will not come chock-full of amenities. Guests can choose between horizontal and vertical beds in the zero-gravity environment, and will dine on food prepared on Earth and sent up- a very high-tech take on room service. They will have internet access, delicacies such as braised veal cheeks with wild mushrooms, white bean pure, potato soup and plum compote, will all be available. We all are pretty excited to see what Bigelow is able to accomplish on its upcoming missions.
