Students at the Imperial College in London (insert Star Wars Empire joke) have revealed their design ideas for a space hotel that could attach and detach from the International Space Station. The design includes nothing but the best amenities, including a custom made shower, clothes that "breathe" better, and of course, a new exercise facility to keep hotel patrons fit. Don't miss the glowing algae nightlight, either. Very swank.
Of course I don't need to mention the epic eye roll I had when I read this article. We can't even get tourists to space yet (not orbital space), and already we're trying to design posh hotels? Haven't science fiction authors covered this ground already? How are these students possibly using their time wisely? Oh well. At least they did design a new toilet, something NASA obviously needs.
