Mir Space Station Hotel

N364368 02: FILE PHOTO: Astronaut C. Michael Foale operates a video camera in Mir's Base Block Module on August 28, 1999. MirCorp, formed in December 1999, announced February 15 that it has reached an agreement to lease the aging space station from former Russian state agency RSC Energia and convert it into a luxury space hotel with room for private scientific and pharmaceutical research. MirCorp expects to spend over $200 million to renovate the station, which has outlived its life expectancy by 9 years, and aspiring space tourists should be prepared to fork over $20 million a head for their out-of-this-world vacation.
