I’ve heard mixed reviews, if you’ve seen the movie, leave a comment with your thoughts!

Of course, they say it’s going to cost $4.4 million for a 3-night stay in outer space at the “Galactic” resort.  This price including an eight-week training course on a tropical island.

The Barcelona-based company (www.galacticsuite.com) plans to open The Galactic Suite Space Resort, the first hotel in space, says it is on target to accept its first paying guests by the year 2012, regardless of what critics are saying about the investment and time frame for the project.

Guests at the space hotel will be able to see the sun rise 15 times every day, travel around the world every 80 minutes, and can wear Velcro suits that allow them to crawl around their pod rooms by sticking themselves to the walls like Spiderman.

Wow, evidently the movie’s fictional but realistic seeming website, Institute For Human Continuity, is freaking some people out.

According to a report on Foxnews.com, Dr. David Morrison, a senior scientist at NASA’s Astrobiology Institute, says he’s “gotten nearly 1,000 e-mails from people who believe something catastrophic is about to befall the planet. He added that some of the letters have been from teenagers who said they would rather commit suicide than watch the world come to an end.”

If this is true, it’s sad, but seriously, these suicidal people have problems already. Personally, I would never commit suicide, I’m to curious to see what will happen next. If the world ends, there is not much I can do about it, but I will survive as long as possible!
