专题11 阅读理解精练精析20篇 期中真题+名校模拟 （2022秋·山东青岛·九年级统考期中）Orbital Assembly Corporation, a new company run by John Blincow, is planning to open a space hotel by 2027. John Blincow once worked as a pilot. His space hotel, called Voyager Station, would hold 280 guests and 112 workers. It is trying to be the first commercial space hotel. “We’re trying to make people realize that this golden age of space travel is just coming and it’s coming fast,” Blincow told CNN.

Players can jump higher because of the weightlessness of the environment when they play basketball. For now, the company isn’t talking about the prices of the rooms. However, they will cost a lot more compared with some space tasks. For example, Virgin Galactic plans to send passengers into space at $250, 000 per person, per trip. The team at Voyager Station, however, has already said that they plan to make a stay in the hotel something similar to buying a cruise ticket. 1．Why does John Blincow want to build a space hotel?
