Space Hotel Is Not a Dream Any More

Believe it or not, booking a hotel in space may become a reality sooner rather than later, and if things go as planned, the Galactic Suite will actually be inviting guests to travel around the world in one and a half hours.

The Boston-based construction company says that the space hotel will be the most expensive accommodation in the galaxy, costing $3 million for a three-day stay. During their stay at the luxurious hotel, guests will be able to see the sunrise 15 times a day and use Velcro suits to crawl around their rooms by sticking themselves to the walls.

There are a number of inconveniences in the weightless environment. "It is the restroom in zero gravity that is the biggest challenge," the president of the firm, John Shannon says. But they may have solved the issue of how to take a shower in weightlessness. The guests will enter a compartment in which bubbles of water will float around. In addition, they can eat "space food," which includes Mexican tacos and Japanese noodles.

Everything sounds exciting, right? But, who can afford such a luxurious trip? Surprisingly, several millionaires have already made reservations for accommodations at the hotel in space. An Indian entrepreneur was ahead of everyone else.

An American research company predicts that the space hotel industry will be quite popular in the near future. Increasing demand for space-tourism will make expenses cheaper. It is said that space tourism will be available to the general public within 20 years.

Re: Corporate Volunteer Project - Days of Caring

Days of Caring is an exciting opportunity for corporations in Morris County to get acquainted with local health and human services agencies. Our company has participated in the project for ten years now, and I’d like to encourage you to share this valuable experience with other volunteers.

This year’s Days of Caring will be held from September 12 to September 18. During this period, industry employees will provide three or more hours of service to nonprofit institutions in their communities. Days of Caring projects include simple repairs, landscaping, spring-cleaning, painting, and interaction with children and the elderly.

Last year, approximately 3,000 workers from two different brewing companies, including ourselves, took part in nearly 200 service projects, contributing over 11,000 volunteer hours to the communities where the businesses were located.

The company will offer paid time off to participating employees. We invite you to get involved by completing the attached registration form and submitting it to Glenn Casamassa in the Social Responsibility Department by the end of this month.
