Question

【題目】D. Answer the question.

The world’s first space travel

Have you ever dreamed of travelling in space like an astronaut? If your answer is “yes”, you will be happy to hear that the world’s first space hotel will welcome customers by 2022.

The space hotel plan was developed by a company in the US. It is named “Aurora Station”. The hotel will host six people at a time, including（包括） two crew members, for a 12-day trip of space travel. It will orbit（繞軌道而行） about 213,800 metres above the Earth and circle our blue planet every 90 minutes.

The station itself will be about 10 meters long and 4.2 metres wide, or about the size of a private jet. Guests in the hotel will be able to experience zero gravity, watch the sun rise 16 times per day, and take part in research experiments. They can also have video chats with their family and friends on the Earth.

Then how much does this amazing travel cost? It will be at an astronomical price--$9.5 million dollars. “We are selling the experience of being an astronaut,” said the company CEO. Potential（潛在的，可能的） guests will need to have a three-month training before going into space.
