It’s a Bird! It’s a Plane! It’s a Hotel in Space!

Would you want to go on a rocket for a private space flight? A Private Space Station? Or a Space Hotel? Well, I know what you are probably thinking, this is all an impractical Fantasy, but that’s not true. Ever since the day the United States landed on the moon, Nasa has been growing and strengthening their missions. Also, many new and high tech companies have been partnering to create great amazing ways to travel through space. Nasa, Virgin Galactic, Zero-G Corporation, Blue Origin, and Boeing are just a few of the companies that are making the impossible, possible.


The plans for the Aurora Station revealed on April 5, 2021, by Orion Span. The Aurora Station is a hotel that is 43.5 ft long with a diameter of 14.1 ft and a pressured volume of 5,650 cubic ft. This hotel will take 4 paying guests and 2 trained members. A person can pay $9.5 million for 12 days. You can set a reservation deposit for $80,000. Want to make a reservation click here. Another amazing experience made for humans was by the Zero-G Corporation. This up-and-coming company has created a “once in a lifetime experience” for people. In this experience, you will feel up to 35 seconds of weightlessness and zero gravity and this means your body will change its weight because of the pressure and you will float. This process will occur about 15 times to get your money's worth. Speaking of money it costs $5,400 per person and it includes the experience, your own Zero-G flight suit, Zero-G merchandise, a certificate of weightless completion, and many videos and photos of you during your experience.

No one knows what will happen in the future unless maybe you are a crazy psycho who can see the future. One thing we do know if we, humans, colonize mars it will be sustainable for humans to live there under certain conditions. This will most likely be possible by Mars-One with the help of Nasa and Elon Musk. Many rovers and satellites have been sent to Mars to find out the best place where humans could live. Currently, Nasa is going through some technical difficulties with their rover opportunity, which was launched in 2014. Opportunity was launched to explore the surface of the red planet.


If you heard that a 12-year-old girl is the youngest person in all of history to go to every space camp in the world over 3 times each, what would you think? Is it true or false? If you guessed true you are correct. Alyssa Carson is the youngest person to be considered for the astronaut program. Alyssa ’s love for space started when she was 3 years old. She was at her house and was watching The Backyardigans. It was the episode they went to Mars. After watching the show she said, “this red planet is so cool” and ever since then she has wanted to become an astronaut. Alyssa has done a lot of training to earn the privilege of maybe going to be the first person to walk on Mars and she will do this before she is 20 years old. Currently, she is 17 and was born in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. I personally am a space enthusiast and has been to space camp 3 times as well as many museums in the country. Also as a girl, I think it’s amazing that a woman is going to hold many records/ space achievements. Lastly, I think it is a great message to teen that if you can do it if you put the work into it.

With high tech companies like Nasa, Virgin Galactic, Zero-G Corporation, Blue Origin, and Boeing are making many of these impossibles have come true in our world and we will never know what is coming next. Todays impossible may be tomorrow's possible and flying cars could be one of the next inventions that many people will have and start making. Now I hope you are a little more interested in the Future of Space travel and exploration.
