Science Monday: Space hotels in five years. But when are we getting the damn hoverboards?

In five years time, I'd expect to see a few new iPods, maybe one sporting wireless charging. I'd expect to see high speed internet access in even the remotest of locations. What I wouldn't necessarily expect is a hotel in space.

The Galactic Suite will apparently feature velcro suits, so you can climb around the walls at zero gravity, and you can watch the sun rise 15 times a day. Like that wouldn't get boring. All for the very *cough* reasonable sum of $4 million for a three day stay. The good news is you've got 1,825 days to save the cash.
