Can't find any destinations on Earth for your next holiday? Lucky for you, one Californian company wants to make it possible to take a vacation in space by building a hotel in orbit.

The Orbital Assembly Corporation hopes to start building Voyager Station, a space station that includes rooms for tourists, in 2026, and open it in 2027. It will be able to carry up to 440 people.

The station will be shaped like a massive wheel, with 24 large pods around the outside of the 200-meter-wide structure. Each pod is 24 meters long and 12 meters wide, and will be used for different things such as restaurants, bars, gyms, hotels and laboratories for research.

The company says that some pods will even be private homes that people can buy.

"Eventually, going to space will just be another option people will pick for their vacation, just like going on a cruise, or going to Disney World," said Tim Alatorre, senior design architect of the space station, speaking to Dezeen. He said that the station may even include things such as concerts and a movie theater.

🧑‍🚀Summary
想不出下一個假期要去地球上的哪個地方度過嗎？ 加州一家企業將於2026年在太空軌道上開始建造名為「旅行者太空站」這間飯店。這間飯店裡頭，包含供遊客住宿用的客房的太空站，能夠乘載440人。預計將於2027年開幕。
該太空站的外型會神似一個大型輪子，外圍寬200公尺的構造上會有24個大型吊艙環繞。 每個吊艙用途不一，有餐廳、酒吧、健身房、飯店，甚至有研究用的實驗室。
