  • The world's first space hotel, with out-of-this-world views of Earth and luxury accommodations, is scheduled to open next year.  Here's what we know:
  • US-based space company Above Space has plans to launch 2 space stations that include luxury accommodations for tourists
  • The rooms are said to be "stocked with gravity"
  • These are the world's 1st gravity-enabled space stations
  • The 1st to launch next year is Pioneer Station that can carry 28 passengers
  • The second to launch in 2027 is Voyager Station that will carry 400 passengers
  • The space ride to get there will cost you $55 million plus the luxury hotel room cost
  • The company expects to have the Pioneer Station/Hotel open next year
  • Rooms can now be reserved
  • The space station looks like a rotating wheel in the sky
  • The inventors have designed it for space tourism, business and scientific research
  • What an intergalactic destination.

  • This new project may have the potential to disrupt the energy scene.  Cambridge, Massachusetts-based startup Quaise Energy plans to drill up to 12 miles into the Earth to tap into what's being called a "million year" geothermal energy source.  Here are some facts:
  • The company has secured $40 million in investment money to do this
  • The geothermal energy potential and approach is based on research by MIT and the company was founded and is led by MIT engineers & scientists
  • Quaise says it will have its 1st drilling rig ready this year
  • They'll have an energy plant retrofitted for geothermal energy by 2030
  • Their drilling technology is proprietary
  • It is a milimeter wave drilling system that goes 6 to 12 miles under the Earth's surface where geothermal energy is power-dense, unlimited and anywhere under the Earth's surface
  • Now building field-deployable drilling machines to show the capability
  • They will use existing infrastructure, power plants and oil crews to do the job
  • Geothermal is clean, green energy and this new project is something to watch for its potential impact.
