A company has set its sight on building a hotel in space with a bullish launch in 2027.

The Orbital Assembly Corporation, which calls itself as the world’s first large-scale space construction company, is planning to build the Voyager Space Station hotel, a rotating space station that will accommodate 400 people and use artificial gravity set to Lunar gravity or 1/6th of the Earth’s gravity.

Construction of the station will begin in 2025, with the project having recently reached its $1 million fundraising goal. To shuttle guests from Earth, Orbital will be tapping the services of Elon Musk’s SpaceX Starship.
