Plans for new international space hotel unveiled
A team of students pursuing their Masters degree in the Innovation Design Engineering (IDE) are planning to create a new international space hotel as part of their course which is run together by Imperial College London and the Royal College of Art.
A 12-meter-long replica of the hotel interior, along with the animated designs has been showcased of this hotel is intended to be built in space and fitted to the International Space Station.
The toilets have been designed in such a way so as to save space, counteract zero gravity and help human muscles to remove waste effectively. A shower nozzle has also been designed that can suck up the water after the washing is done so that water would not have to be left floating as globules. Natural fibers will be used to make clothes for the space tourists. These Ŕspace suites will come with small chest flaps to let the air enter inside to keep the body cool.
FYI: The Galactic Suite, the first hotel planned in space, expects to open for business in 2012.

New York couple tie the knot in zero gravity
A New York couple who were determined to tie the knot in zero-gravity finally did get married in a converted Boeing 727 jet by going Ŕhead over heels.
Noah Fulmore and Erin Finnegan, lovers of science fiction, exchanged vows had to pay more than $13,368 for this weightless wedding in this jet that also undertakes roller coaster-styled dives. The flight lasted 90 minutes and made 16 roller coaster-type dives.
The rings they exchanged were also unique since they were made from precious metal fragments of a meteorite that hit Earth in Namibia around 30,000 years ago.
The marriage ceremony was officiated by Richard Garriott, the British-born space tourist.
