architects of the Galactic Suite Space Resort say it will cost $4.4 million for a three­night stay at the hotel.This price also includes an eight­week training course on an island.During their stay，guests would see the sunrise 15 times a day and travel around the world every 80 minutes.Galactic Suite Ltd's CEO Xavier Claramunt says the project will put his company in a leading position of a new industry with a huge future ahead of it，and forecasts space travel will become common in the future.“It's very normal to think that your children，possibly within 15 years，could spend a weekend in
