Dear Asgardians,

Just want to share an article with you about the interesting Aurora Station project carried out by the start-up Orion Span. It can be a source of inspiration for us in many ways.

The project consists in launching a "luxury hotel" on a modular space station in late 2021 and to welcome first guests the following  year, with two crew members accompanying each excursion. The platform will orbit 200 miles above Earth, and will offer 12 days stays to its customers. The price will start from €641,666 a night.

The company requires an $80,000 deposit, which is fully refundable, and began accepting payments on Thursday.

Here is a link to one of many articles about this project:

If we want our dreams become reality, it is obvious that Asgardia will have to be involved in a number of commercial projects in order to grow capital and space-related experience. I'm imagining Asgardia as a leader in "space hospitality", which would allow us to put a lot of efforts in paralel on the research for bigger space habitats, and why not artificial gravity stations.

Best,

Jason

I don't have the money for this but it's a first step thank you very much for sharing the article
