How would you like to go on vacation to space and see the sun rise 15 times a day? It's not science fiction, but a trip that could be a reality by 2012.
A company is preparing the first space hotel which should be ready to go in 3 years time. The space ship will orbit the earth and the guests will be floating while they take in some incredible views.
The vacation lasts 3 weeks and includes time on a tropical island where the new 'astronauts' will learn how to be in space. Only people who can pay 3 million dollars will be able to go on this trip.
The trip is called Galactic Suite and can accommodate 4 guests and 2 real astronauts who will drive the space ship.
Many people doubt that this hotel will be ready in time. One thing is for sure, until space travel becomes more common, many of us will not be able to afford this adventure.
There is something in the movie business called wardrobe test, and it allows actors to see what they look like in certain clothing before going in front of the camera.
Today we have photos of the clothes Robert Pattinson tested out for his Twilight role. As you can see, some of the outfits weren't very flattering and they decided to change them at the end.
They also decided to do his hair differently. In the photos his hair is crazy looking! Luckily in the end they were able to come up with the right look that personified the Edward from the book: mysterious and elegant.

Two of the most popular movies of the year will go face to face at the People Choice Awards on the 6 of January 2010.
The movie will be Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince and Twilight. Both films are nominated for Best Saga and Best Group of Protagonists.
Also up for grabs are awards for Best actor (Robert Pattinson) and Best actress (Kristen Stewart). From these catagories Daniel Radcliffe and Emma Watson have not been included.
One thing Twilight has going for it is that New Moon is about to come out, whereas the new Harry Potter movie, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, will not come out until 2010. So, most people will be thinking about New Moon, not Harry Potter.
Let the competition begin! Which of these movies would you vote for?
The Earth is begging us to help by stopping to pollute and conserving natural resources.
Though most of us know the issue, many of us do not care for the Earth day to day through our own personal actions.
The largest environmental organizations have created aggressive campaigns to get people thinking about the Earth and pollution, climate change and animal extinction.
In the photo below you'll see a towel dispenser that shows us that we are adding to the destruction of the South American rainforest every time we take a paper towel.Another one of the pictures speaks to climate change and shows a couple on a boat in Brazil, Río de Janeiro, at the same level as the famous statue ( on a mountain now) at sea level. Another photo shows a couple of leopards with price tags on their hides.
Ads like these help us remember that each person can help the environment right from their own home.
