" The Galactic Space Suite Hotel, set to open in three years. "

" Routine commercial travel to outer space may be the norm as soon as 2012, as the next generation of spacecraft — designed by private sector firms like Virgin Galactic, Orbital Sciences Corp., Space Exploration Technologies Corp. and others — transport adventure-seeking civilians into low-Earth orbit.

There have been stories like this since the early 90s that always say "in X years, you will be able to be a space tourist!" ... I'll believe it when it all really happens.

This has been around for a long time now. I dunno about the "Space hotel" but the whole Virgin Galactic shit is the real deal. Only if you're super rich though, for now. Probably have to wait at least 30-40 years before it becomes mainstream.
