trip to orbit! so in order for tourism to reach its full potential theres going to be a need for orbital accommodationor space hotels.what would a space hotel actually be like to visit? hotels in orbit will offer the services you expect from a hotelprivate rooms，meals，bars.but theyll also offer two unique experiences: impressive viewsof earth and spaceand the endless entertainment of living in zero gravityincluding sports and other activities that make use of this.the hotels themselves will vary greatlyfrom being quite simple in the early days to huge luxury structures at a later date.its actually surprising that as later as 1997，very few designs for space hotels were published.this is mainly because those who might be expected to design them havent expected launch costs to come down far enough to make them possible.lots of people whove been to space have described vividly what its like to live in zero gravity.there are obviously all sorts of possibilities for dancing，gymnastics，and zerog sports.luckily，you dont need to sleep much living in zero gravity，so youll have plenty of time for relaxing by hanging out in a bar with a window looking down at the turning earth below.of course all good things have come to an end，unfortunately.and so after a few days youll find yourself heading back though youll be much more expert at exercising in zero gravity than you were when you arrived.youll be thinking how soon you can save up enough to get back up againor maybe you should change jobs to get to work in an orbiting hotel.【文章大意】这是一篇科普说明文，主要介绍了在太空旅行中住宿的地方太空宾馆(space hotels)，独特的体验如欣赏太空美景，在失重的状态下的无穷乐趣。读来也许会令你心驰神往。1when traveling in space，most people would like to stay in orbit for a few days because _.ait is
