Seriously.

“Commercial space ships are being built around the world — they will need to fly somewhere,” says Alexander Derechin, deputy chief designer with Energia.

Energia, a Russian partly state-owned contractor, has partnered with Orbital Technologies to develop a hotel in space. The hotel will be able to accommodate seven guests at a time and is slated for completion around 2015.

Start saving.
