At the Space 2.0 space conference recently held in San Jose, California, US technology startup Orion Span announced the world’s first luxury space hotel dedicated to tourists. The space hotel will be located in a modular space. The station can accommodate 6 people at the same time, including 2 members of the staff. The travel agency can arrange 12 days of space travel. In 2022, the first guests will be welcomed.

Orion Span CEO Frank Bunger pointed out: 'Our goal is to make Anyone can go to space. After the Aurora Station space station is completed, it will be immediately put into service to attract people who think of space travel at an unprecedentedly low price.

In the past, space travel had higher asking prices. Dennis Tito, who traveled on space in 2001, reportedly spent 20 million U.S. dollars (about 126 million yuan) on his 7-day journey. Bunger said: 'In the past, people needed to be trained for 24 months. Going to prepare for space, but now we can shorten the training process to 3 months. This also cuts the cost.
