The Gateway Foundation, a California-based company which announced its plans for an orbiting, space-based hotel back in 2019, has placed a name on the project and plans to open in 2027 if all goes right.

Voyager Station will be the name of this space hotel and it will offer up a truly one-of-a-kind experience to the travelers who are lucky enough to stay there. This ambitious project, which involves 24 different “modules” connected by an elevator shaft that will orbit Earth, was inspired by Stanley Kubrick’s “2001: A Space Odyssey.”  The hotel is expected to feature simulated gravity and will attempt to be as similar as possible to a luxury Earth hotel, including a bar, a restaurant, and all the amenities you would expect on Earth.

The views, however, will literally be out-of-this-world. A unique perspective of the Blue Planet awaits guests who end up staying at the Voyager Station. Expect more news about this game-changing project to come over the next few years before construction is scheduled to begin in 2026!

While it still hasn’t become available for the common traveler, there are companies which are making advances towards taking ordinary, non-astronaut humans like you and me to outer space. 

So, just when might we be able to do so? It might not take as long as you might think?

Richard Branson’s Virgin Galactic is a British spaceflight company that’s making more and more advances towards commercial passenger space travel. While the flights on this company’s ships would not take you to the moon or to Mars, they will give you the experience to reach suborbital levels in space and experience zero gravity.

Test flights are currently ongoing with more planned for this fall, making it possible that regular travel (albeit expensive) could start as soon as next year.

While it might take a while for this sort of travel to become commonplace, don’t be surprised if space travel turns into one of this decade’s or the next’s biggest travel hits.
