EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the futuristic concept of space tourism. In this conceptual computer artwork, we witness a group of adventurous "spaceboarders" outside a magnificent space hotel orbiting Earth, with the moon majestically glowing in the background. The innovative design of this extraordinary hotel is constructed using repurposed shuttle fuel tanks, ingeniously connected together by a central core for docking purposes. The image reminds us that NASA's space shuttles were designed to be reusable, except for their fuel tanks which would burn up upon reentry into Earth's atmosphere. However, this imaginative illustration proposes an alternative fate for these discarded tanks – transforming them into luxurious accommodations fit for wealthy tourists seeking unparalleled experiences beyond our planet. Intriguingly, future visitors to this celestial complex could indulge in thrilling activities such as space walking or even daringly engage in the exhilarating sport of "spaceboarding". This visionary depiction hints at a time when interstellar travel becomes accessible to those who can afford it. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of artistry from Science Photo Library, we are transported into an awe-inspiring realm where humanity's dreams and technological advancements converge. It sparks our imagination about what lies ahead on our cosmic journey and ignites curiosity about the possibilities that await us among the stars.
