Where is the interesting space hotel?

Since 196 1 April, the former Soviet Air Force Major Gagarin became the first person to visit space, spacecraft and space station have become nothing new to people. Now, their use has expanded from pure scientific research projects to tourism-space tourism has become one of the most exciting and luxurious industries. In order to make tourist stations more comfortable and leisure, major space companies and private enterprises began to build "space hotels", which set off a new tourism boom.

Galaxy suite

This suite is fully equipped. The hotel has about 22 rooms, each with an area of 28 square meters. This is the first time in the world. If successfully completed, it will become the first space hotel in human history. The different capsules of Galaxy Suite Hotel are used as bars, restaurants, reception rooms, etc. Here, tenants can enjoy the beauty of the universe without leaving home, watch the sunrise every day 15, and travel around the world every 80 minutes. In addition, people can also experience the bubble-rich "space bath" in weightlessness. Although the occupancy cost is expensive, according to the designer's calculation, about 40,000 people in the world can afford it, but it is not known whether they are willing to pay for it.

Hotel Moon

Moon Hotel is a twin tower. It is estimated that it takes about two days to fly from the earth to the moon. Because dust clouds will be generated when landing on the moon, the landing site will be some distance from the hotel. When tourists leave the dusty cloud area, they can see the lunar rover in the distance and take it to the Moon Hotel. Moon Hotel is built on the edge of a 5-kilometer-deep canyon, where you can enjoy beautiful scenery.

Most of the time spent traveling to the moon will be spent in hotels, so hotels will provide many entertainments for tourists. Visitors can experience the feeling of low gravity by participating in gravity games, such as hanging from a rope, swimming (jumping out of the water like a dolphin when swimming), and even flying if they have a bat suit and enough courage. In addition, visitors can have a panoramic view of the moon, see the earth hanging in the sky from a distance, or observe the earth through a super telescope and enjoy the beauty they have never seen before.

In addition, there are many bars and rooms in the hotel. There is no elevator in the hotel because it is very important to exercise on the moon. In the state of low gravity, without exercise, people's muscles will shrink rapidly.

When tourists are tired, they can go back to the hotel room, which is similar to a "tear capsule". These capsules are closely connected with the living unit, and each capsule is equipped with a bedroom and a separate bathroom. They are freely hung in the hotel through thin steel cables and can be lowered or rotated by remote control according to the preferences of passengers. At night, these capsules can be used as giant light bulbs to light up the hotel.

Besides hotel activities, you can also walk on the moon outdoors, but this requires a spacesuit and can only be done in groups because it is dangerous. Traveling by lunar rover may be more comfortable. It can show tourists some interesting places, one of which is the landing site of Apollo, and Armstrong's footprints on the moon can still be seen.

Space inflatable hotel

The Space Hotel in Bigelow is quite special, with a volume of 1.500 cubic meters, a mass of 1.000 tons and a diameter of 30 meters. According to the data, the space hotel will be completed before 20 15. Unlike the aluminum capsule that constitutes the International Space Station, Bigelow plans to use the capsule as the main part of the hotel with expansion technology. The outer shell of the capsule can expand in space, and the outer wall of the capsule is covered with hard materials such as fibers. The whole hotel consists of several independent cabins strung together like sausages, including hotels, shopping centers, small factories using microgravity production and so on.

At present, Bigelow's aerospace company has a capital of 500 million US dollars, and has recruited retired aerospace engineers from NASA and Lockheed Martin. So far, Bigelow has spent $75 million on this "dream". In 2006, Bigelow successfully launched an experimental space capsule, which was successfully launched in space. The internal temperature of the experimental cabin is about 26℃, which is just suitable for human life. Its solar panels have also been fully deployed, providing 26 volts of electricity for scientific instruments in the cabin.

Voyager spacecraft

This is a hotel that flies directly to Mars. This spaceship named Voyager is equipped with all kinds of comfortable facilities and can accommodate 50 people at a time. The space hotel is driven by the gravity of the sun, the earth, Mars and the moon, and runs in the orbit of the solar system between the earth and Mars at a speed of 2 1000 km per hour. This trip to Mars will take 6-8 months. Eidelin said that this reusable space hotel is very reliable, and it is an important tool for human beings to enter space, explore, emigrate and conduct interstellar commercial activities. A scientist involved in this project said that as long as this spaceship is put into orbit, it will go back and forth between the earth and Mars like a never-ending bus. The hotel is expected to open on 20 18.

Learning point

The youngest person to go into space

196 1 In August, astronaut gherman Titov entered Earth orbit on the former Soviet spaceship Dongfang-2, only one month before his 26th birthday. He is the second person to enter the orbit. During the 25-hour flight, he circled the earth 17 times. Titov was also the first person to sleep in space. It is said that he was also the first person to suffer from "space disease".
