There are even companies working on plans to build hotels for space tourists. The Shimizu Corporation, a giant Japanese construction company, has detailed plans for a hotel they expect to complete by 2020.They believe that by then they will have created 63-room hotel which will orbit 279 miles (450 kilometers) above the surface of Earth. The hotel will slowly spin in order to produce enough force to simulate Earth's gravity. It is estimated that such a space hotel would cost $6 to $12 billion, and would take about 6 years to build.
Since water was discovered on the moon in 1998, the mult-national hotel chain,Hilton Hotels, has been working on plans for a hotel on the moon.The plans call for a 5000-room complex with a beach,a working farm, a medical center, and even a school. Two huge solar panels will generate the power. Hilton is working on this project with experts at NASA.
You many wonder what space tourists will do while in space. To begin with,most will probably want to spend some time simply enjoying the incredible sight of Earth from space. After that, no doubt they will spend some time gazing at the amazingly bright stars, and will take a space walk or two. When space tourists have had their fill of observing, they are likely to spend hours amusing themselves floating and doing acrobatics in the zero gravity of space. This zero gravity could provide endless recreational opportunities, including swimming in a zero gravity swimming pool in which people move through a floating mass of water.
With so much research, energy, and money being poured into space tourism, it is clear that it is a matter of when, rather then if space tourism will become a reality.
