Space Hotel By Russian Orbital Technologies For The Obscenely Rich

We know you and your wealthy friends are bored of wandering the Earth and eagerly waiting for that hotel in space. Well, wait no more! Russian Orbital Technologies is bringing your dreams to reality by 2016. The company is getting a space hotel ready that can accommodate you and your 6 filthy rich buddies in 4 cabins. The 5-day stay in the space station 217 miles above the Earth costs only $988,020. The package would include reheated microwave food, fruit juice (alcohol isn't allowed), horizontal and vertical sleeping positions, regular size LCDs and hopefully, high-speed Internet access. Of course you will be able to enjoy the NASA like views of Earth from windows.

This commercial space station aka CSS will be situated close to the International Space Station, at a distance of about 62 miles. In case of any emergency (yep!), the ISS will act as a backup for the CSS. The hotel will move at a speed of 17.5k  miles per hour in the lower orbit. We just hope that there will be more such space hotels in near future so that the competition will bring the prices down. Well, the space hotel is yet to get a proper name. We just hope that the company will announce a contest to name the space station and the we'll win it. But by that time, we want to know what name would you suggest for this hotel?
