2. The LUNATIC HOTEL:
Dreaming of space? Soon, you'll be able to live on a satellite. The Lunatic Hotel is set to be build on the Moon!! Designers already have the blueprints ready, so the hotel should be completed in 2050. The hotel will include an engine, that will allow guests to “indulge in low-gravity games with the help of two 160-meters high slanting towers.” The 50 cm hull made from Moon Rock layered with water will provide the antidote to the ruthless lunar environment, extreme temperatures, lethal cosmic rays and solar particles.

Most beautiful places on Earth



1. TAJ MAHAL
Taj Mahal is considered one of the eight wonders, and some Western historians have argued that its architectural beauty has never been exceeded. Taj is the most beautiful monument built to the Mughals, the Muslim ruler of India. The Taj Mahal is built entirely with white marble. Its stunning architectural beauty is like an adequate description, particularly at dawn and dusk. The Taj seems to glow in the light of the full moon. If it is a foggy morning, visitors experience the Taj as if suspended in view throughout the Jamuna river.

6. BRYCE CANYON
Bryce Canyon lies in the southwestern part of Utah in the United States.It's an eroded natural amphitheater rather than a canyon. It's most notable features are its “hoodoos”;geological structures formed by harsh weather erosion caused by wind, ice and water. One of them is called Thor’s Hammer because its shape resembles to a hammer. Tourists can enjoy a scenic drive to 13 viewpoints overlooking the canyon. They can also enjoy hiking, snowshoeing, and cross-country skiing.

Due to its beautiful emerald green water, the river is marketed as "The Emerald Beauty". It is said to be one of the rare rivers in the world that retain such a colour throughout their length.
