Pioneer Space Station for Gravity Enabled Tourism and Commercial Use

Have you ever dreamed of traveling in space? Now you can stay in a space station. Orbital Assembly announces the Pioneer Space Station. It features gravity enabled tourism and will be operational in 2025.

Orbital Assembly Corporation is the only company developing the first commercially viable, space-based business park with gravity. The space station has been called the first free-flying, habitable, privately-operated facility in orbit.

Space Station Accommodations

A basic station model will accommodate 28 guests. In addition, it provides a hybrid environment of microgravity (Zero-G). Plus variable levels of gravity up to .57-G. In addition, there will be custom configurations to accommodate more people or meet specific commercial equipment specifications. Thus, each Pioneer module will offer up to 14,000 cu. ft. of space.

Cutting Edge Design

Designed for both for work and stay, the Pioneer Space Station will become the world’s first and largest hybrid space stations. For example, the customizable environments will feature five spacious modules. Each one is built around OAC’s rotating Gravity Ring architecture. Therefore, the company’s artificial gravity features will enhance the level of comfort in space.

Orbital Assembly plans to introduce their new Pioneer Space Station prior to the Voyager Station that they announced in 2021. Astonishingly, the Voyager Station will accommodate up to 400 people.

Tim Alatorre is the Chief Operating Officer and states “For the average person, being in space will be a sci-fi dream experience. Our vision is to make space a destination people will yearn to visit, with familiar elements provided by the presence of gravity. Pioneer’s gravity experience will enable visitors to move around in weightless environments. While eating or drinking out of a cup normally and sleeping without having to be attached to a bed. This is not possible in current space stations.”

Lastly, Orbital Assembly is partnering with former NASA astronaut Mae Jemison’s organization “100-year Starship”. The company also partners with UC Irvine to further the study of artificial gravity on human physiology. As a result, researchers are finding that Zero-G conditions experienced during long-term stays in space, may cause serious medical conditions.

Virgin Galactic Space Plane “Unity” – Sir Richard Branson Will Launch to the Edge of Space

Tomorrow marks a historic day. Sir Richard Branson will be on board the Virgin Galactic space plane named “Unity” for a test flight.  Richard Branson is almost 71 years old. The London-born is the famous founder of the Virgin Group, which controls over 400 companies across many industries.

Branson describes himself as a adventurer. He will live up to that description on Sunday, as he soars from the southern desert of New Mexico. In addition, he will join five company employees on his sleek and shiny space plane – the Virgin Galactic “Unity.”

The upcoming flight will be the company’s fourth trip to the edge of space. Richard Branson posted on Twitter, “I’ve always been a dreamer. My mum taught me to never give up and to reach for the stars. On July 11, it’s time to turn that dream into a reality aboard the next @VirginGalactic”

By adding himself to Virgin Galactic’s first full-scale crew, Branson will beat out Amazon founder Jeff Bezos by just over a week. The battle of two of the biggest billionaires in the world intensified quickly. First, there was a news release that Jeff Bezos would be part of the debut launch of his “Blue Origin” rocket – “New Shepard.” It is currently scheduled for July 20 and will include other people with people on board, including honored guest Wally Funk. In addition, Bezos’ brother Mark Bezos will be part of the crew, launching from West Texas.

Branson states, “We are at the vanguard of a new industry determined to pioneer twenty-first century spacecraft, which will open space to everybody — and change the world for good.”

Virgin Galactic Unity crew - Sir Richard Branson

The “Unity” space plane from Virgin Galactic, will take-off attached to a custom designed double aircraft. Appropriately, the aircraft is nicknamed Eve, named after Richard Branson’s late mother. After taking off and reaching almost 50,000 feet (15,000 meters), the plane with Branson inside will be released. After that, the plane’s rocket motor will next ignite and initiate a rapid climb up to approximately 55 miles above Earth.

Next, the space plane’s motor will shut off as it reaches space. As a result, the lucky passengers will then experience weightlessness and will float around, looking down at planet Earth. What an amazing view that should be! Continuing after that relatively brief thrill, the passengers all strap back into their seats and prepare for re-entry. Amazingly, the rocket plan actually folds up its wings. Finally, the wings fold back down using a unique technique, called “feathering.”

From there, the rocket plane glides back to Earth, similar to past NASA space shuttle missions. Hence, millions of people all around the world will watch this historic moment in space travel.

The next phase for Virgin Galactic, is to perform two more test flights later this summer. If you have dreamed to travel to space, you are in luck. You can book a reservation for a future space flight. The initial tickets are priced at $250,000 per person. Incredibly, there are already greater than 600 confirmed, ticket holders. Will you be next?

The Life of Luxury offers over 50,000 VIP experiences around the world. If you are interested in a space flight with Richard Branson’s Virgin Galactic, please contact us today.

Concrete Speakers That Offer Concrete Sound from Concrete Audio

We already know what most of you are saying. Speakers made form concrete? That’s right and you’ll be amazed at the actual performance. Concrete Audio is a company from Germany. They will be showcasing their best concrete speaker products at this week’s HIGH END audio show in Munich, Germany.

HIGH END runs from May 5 to 8 and Concrete Audio will be announcing and demonstrating their new subwoofer S1. The S1 follows the company’s other high quality speakers, including the audiophile floorstander N1 and ultra flat on-wall speaker F1.

Concrete Audio designs and produces high-end loudspeaker systems. The products are unique since they are made form concrete but also provide a timeless elegance and incredible audio dynamics.

Concrete has been around this the Roman Empire days. It’s a simple formula of cement, water and sand. But when the final product after the Concrete Audio process is completed, the result is a smooth surface similar to cut stone. The finished look can be enhanced with various techniques. It can be be lacquered or real wood veneered. The surface can also be sealed using polish, wax or oil.

So what drove the company to design and develop a concrete speaker? Audio specialists know that the key to a great loudspeaker is its housing cannot vibrate. If it does, there is a distortion of the sound and it is heard as unnnatural.

Although they come with a distinctive and stylish lok, they are heavy. That seems to be the major issue when one first hears about them. But the accolades are numerous. For example, musician and producer Nils Landgren was quoted, “I have never in my life heard Chet Baker sound so good! If you are looking for concrete sound, check out Concrete Audio.”

The brand’s F1 speaker is flat concrete speaker. It was developed along with the Ilmenau Fraunhofer Institute IDMT. Since it’s so thin, it can actually be mounted on a wall. The floorstander N1 is a passive tower speaker. It’s an awesome speaker and produces a totally, natural sound.

It doesn’t matter if you are an audio purist or want to be a trendsetter, take a closer look at the incredible concrete speaker products from Concrete Audio.

Impress your friends and family the next time you entertain with concrete speakers from Concrete Audio. Come back soon to read more audio and technology articles in our luxury blog. Let us know if you are interested in learning more.
