Architects: Space hotel on track to open by 2012

Despite skepticism from critics, architects building the first hotel in space say the hotel should begin to accept its first guests in 2012. A three-night stay at The Galactic Suite Space Resort will run about $4.4 million, which will include eight weeks of training on a tropical island. During the three-day stay, guests will see the sun rise 15 times a day as they travel around the world every 80 minutes.
