New Renderings Show Inside Luxurious Space Hotel To Open In 2027
Space is no longer only a place for the world powers but a new domain for private businesses to capitalize on. The latest example is an out-of-this-world space hotel set to open in low Earth orbit at the end of this decade.
Orbital Assembly Corp., a California-based startup, bills itself as the “world’s first large-scale space construction company” and is slated to open the Voyager Station in 2027, equipped with restaurants, a cinema, spa, and space pods (rooms) for 400 people.
“The goal has always been to make it possible for large amounts of people to live, work and thrive in space,” Tim Alatorre, Orbital Assembly’s chief operating officer, told CNN.
The company plans to use robots to construct the celestial hotel shaped like a Ferris wheel. The 650-foot-wide wheel-shaped structure will spin with an angular velocity fast enough to generate moon-like levels of artificial gravity for guests.
Renderings of the interiors suggest the hotel could be comparable to a luxury one here on Earth.
The outer ring of the station will be the area for housing modules. Here’s inside one of the rooms.
Voyager Station could one day be the largest human-made structure in space.
Alatorre said his team has spoken with top space companies, such as Elon Musk’s SpaceX, Blue Origin, and Virgin Galactic, about ferrying guests from Earth to the station.
As billionaires invest in space, space tourism could be the stepping stone for developing long-haul travel to Mars and other planets.

Never gonna happen.
In 5 years 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
That’s when cold fusion (or whatever they are calling it) is going to be perfected, too.
In fact, two weeks is the new 5 years.
Will be christened Hubble II. And perform as well. Can’t really remember, but about half the worlds ‘monied’ were on the Titanic. Need to get those numbers up this time.
Good luck with those dilithium crystals.
That sounds like a great place to retire. I am in my 70’s, and have spinal arthritis, and my back hurts constantly. The thought of living in reduced gravity sounds great! They should have a zero gravity play space in the center. That would be really great!
It’s just that all the things that I would want to stop hurting for exist only on Earth. But, I didn’t even enjoy living on boats. I want to kiss the ground, if I have been in a car too long, which has nothing to do with the motion, unless there is some epic hangover that I am too old to achieve.
In just under 5 short years I’ll be floating breathlessly in muh luminous space hotel room with with Klaus Schwab, Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, Donald Trump, Elon Musk and Marina Abramovic . See ya’ there suckers.
Just remember: One can not sustain on spirit cake alone.
You need a ready supply of fetuses to feed on.
Only thing is, we will be long gone when men are living in a contraption like this. Sorry, you will have to go down not up to hang out with those bastards.
I hope it happens. I then hope the only people that go are the liberal wackos because they believe the planet is dying due to “climate change”. That will leave us normies back on Earth…perfect!
Reverse Elysium
For such a dying planet, it is really difficult to get things to stop growing around here. We are practically over run with jungle and varmints.
Maybe … but they will already have ‘moved’ most of the 3d world into the 1st World … and won’t that be just special for those of US left here …
To be fair the lead architect is a Design-Pro success story. He’s built a lot of houses and even worked on a restaurant.
If I were to assign anyone to the task of building the first hotel in space, it would be this guy.
Maybe so, but you wouldn’t give him an utterly impossible 5 year deadline.
Did you need the sarc tag?
Where are all the black and brown faces these lefties pretend to be in love with? Looks to me like all the astro-commies are LILY-WHITE!!!
Maybe they left all their lies on earth? Think of all the weight they saved on their way to low earth orbit!!!
I see one of the problems being getting Musk to build enough ‘heavy lifters’ in time to get all of the components upstairs. Otherwise, just look at the original ‘2001’ movie to see how it’s all supposed to work. This time, we DO have the technology ( or rather Elon does)!
He looks a like a smart growth Presbyterian . The most annoying fags on the planet.
I heard that the hotel will actually be FLAT.
Can you confirm?
I see what you did there.
Why would it need to…
“…spin with an angular velocity fast enough to generate moon-like levels of artificial gravity for guests.”
So you feel slightly dizzy all the time.
And so you can walk around without magnetic shoes, velcro shoes or some other type of support to keep you on the floor. There is also the issue of drinks, liquids, etc. Nobody wants that kind of liquid mess getting on the elite.
That’s funny.
If sitting at a table in such an angular velocity device with a glass of scotch, do you really believe that the liquid would remain in the glass if you raised it a little quicker? (Or rain back “down” on you, if you did that too fast.)
As a kid I was fascinated by all things space related and loved science fiction novels & movies.
Now I see it’s all just a grift by government bureaucrats and douchebag elitists to take bread out of others’ mouths to fund their personal (usually impossible) fantasies/hobbies.
I wish we could send all the world “leaders” up there and forget about them.
You can forget about them.
Some of us would be aiming at them.
10…9…8…7…6…
It would get taken out by Russian and Chinese space junk
never gonna happen!
i guess the way to bet on it would be to pay in advance for a trip there.
now to find an angle on how to short it!
Too dangerous. It’s always the first thing to go when the aliens attack.
That wheel design looks just like the one on a children’s book I read in the 60s. Don’t recall the name of it.
Man has not evolved to live in space. We are a product of Earth.
Solar wind compounded with radiation not to mention space debit and floating rocks. I hope you have life insurance before you go. I’ll be on good old terra firma watching your lifeless bodies orbit through space with my telescope.
I don’t think you are thinking about this in the correct terms. This has the potential to permanently cure a vast array of debilitating conditions. Much like Covid killed the flu.
Hmm, good point
I guess I made a mistake going all-in on the shipsteading movement? Is that done now?
No, It’s very much alive and well. We are taking factory ships to the great pacific plastic oscillation and recycling the plastic into floating interlocking blocks to form our own free territory. All solar and wind powered of course. You can help save the planet by sending me a non tax deductible donation. Give till it hurts, you’ll feel better for it.
i’m sure the master arkitect will learn much from the vid of the ISS being constructed. oh wait, for some reason there is no vid of that.
These clowns are hilarious .
Perfectly good ruse to capture the “chosen ones”. Let us implode while they’re secure in the grandstands.
Too bad the commoner provided them the financing for it.
Talk about a prestige target for a little mayhem.
1000x the target for space junk debris. 🙂
It’s better up there…. at least that what they said in “Elysium.”
I also hear that in space no one can hear you scream.
I hope they all blow up on the launch pads.
ZFG, out.
P.S. If it is not Alien, Aliens or Aliens: Earth Hive then it is all just hogwash.
Never is a long time. But in 5 years? Nope. And can you imagine the risks of living in such a place early on? I expect space is a very dangerous place. And mentally, most people will not cope.
Wonder how it will be for shooting practice? Will a few .30 size holes cause any issues?
