The Cosmic Hotel. Sleeping Among The Stars
You might have heard the exciting news about the new comfy cosmic hotel Russians plan to launch in the orbit in 5 years time. I have to admit, space travel always fascinated me and the thought of sleeping among the stars tickles my synapses.
I envy Guy Laliberte, the Canadian founder of the Cirque du Soleil for being one of the first space tourists, but then I bet lots of people envy him for different reasons. What soon nobody will envy are the conditions he traveled in - small accommodations shared with the astronauts, the animals and the fruit flies. The new cosmic hotel will be cozier and more spacious.
A few months ago when I first sketched my bucket list, "see Earth from space" came in naturally. Then I sighed and told to myself "Yeah, right!". A few weeks later I found out about the Virgin Galactic's first manned commercial spaceship being launched and the drop in the prices of suborbital flights. Now they are building a hotel in space. Can't you tell that all the universe conspires in helping me to achieve my dream?
Seeing the whole Earth at a glance and more stars than I could ever imagine sounds more exciting to me than walking 10 great Chinese walls. Of course, I still want to see the Great Wall Of China, because I'm a greedy little traveler, but then I hope the universe in its wiseness, will understand my curiosity.
