Curbed says the Houston-based startup Orion Span wants to build a fully modular space station that functions as a high end hotel. According to the company's plans, the hotel will be able to host up to 6 people for 12 days at a time. Trips start at a cool $9.5 million per person, but the company says they also accept payments in the forms of Bitcoin, Ethereum, Bitcoin Cash, and Litecoin.
Unfortunately, all the extra traffic seems to have taken Orion Span's website down, and they just took down the video of the hotel's interior, but you can still see some renders of the space station's exterior in the video here.
The Aurora Station hotel is set to launch in late 2021, is looking for investors, and will host its first guests in 2022. If you have the cash-including a refundable $80,000 deposit-and want to live out your astronaut dreams, travelers have to undergo a three-month certification program to prep for space. But that's a small price to pay for adventuring in the final frontier.
