Space Hotel 2027

Staying at a nice hotel is fun! But in just a few years … some people could

be staying at a nice hotel… in space!

Yeah! A space hotel is going to open in 2027!

2027年有一些人可能會去太空旅館度假。

You will be able to look out the window and see Earth far below you.

從窗戶看出去就會看到地球。

What a great view!

The space hotel will look like a Ferris wheel.

這個太空旅館看起來就像一座摩天輪。

The hotel will spin like a Ferris wheel, and that will give the people inside

some gravity so you won't fly away all the time.

它像摩天輪一樣旋轉產生引力,裡面的人才不會一直飄起來。

But not too much gravity… it will still feel a little like floating, and the

hotel wants to set up fun things to do… like basketball!

Can you imagine playing basketball with only a little gravity? You could jump

super high and super far!

因為引力不大所以你會感覺輕輕飄飄,打籃球就可以跳得又高又遠喔!

But…. there is one thing not so cool about the space hotel. It's going to be

very expensive to go there. The cost for flying in a rocket and staying at

the space hotel for three days is $140 million NT dollars!

但是搭火箭去住太空旅館三天要1.4億台幣!

Wow, 140 million?! Woah! Well, let's hope someday it gets cheaper.
