Vacation in Space Takeoff! Rocket to a hotel in outer space like this one. It’s time to chill out in the stars.

D o you dream of going into space? Yes, it takes years to become an astronaut for NASA. But you’re in luck! One day, you may be able to take a vacation to space. You’ll buy a ticket and board a spacecraft. You’ll glide past our planet’s atmosphere. Then you’ll stay in a hotel with an amazing view of Earth. How cool would that be? Flying to Space Now Some companies offer short flights to space tourists. The passengers travel to the edge of space and back. Here’s how it works. First, passengers go to a spaceport. For a few days, they train in a group. Then they have a health screening. Doctors check that all tourists’ bodies and mental states are in tip-top shape. Once they’re cleared for takeoff, passengers board a spacecraft. Soon, they fly high over our planet. Back on Earth, these passengers are part of a very small group that can share personal photos from outer space.
