I have visited this spa myself a couple of years ago and I must say it was a truly wonderful experience and just what I needed after heaps of exams. There are a wide range of treatments available as well as a steam room with different steam pods containing scented oils, a roof top pool and a minerva bath pool .

SPACE COTURE DESIGN CONTEST
Thursday 9th June 2011

“It was Misuzu Onuki, Asia Liaison for the Space Frontier Foundation and Rocketplane's Asian Business Representative, who first identified the need for design, creative expression and personal preference to become a part of the customer's individual space flight choices.

"We were stuck in the 'old school' way of thinking about space flight clothing. We assumed that our choices were limited to picking our own Midnight Blue company color for the standard Nomex military flight suit, with our own logo patches in place of the NASA meatball," Lauer pointed out.

The Space Couture Design Contest--organized by Ms. Onuki, Eri Matsui, a fashion designer based in Tokyo, and their colleagues in JAXA and the fashion industry--have spurred a fresh and exciting look at what the possibilities for personal space wear really can be.” (Article written by Leonard David)

GRADUATE FASHION WEEKI found this poster which was from a competition in 2006 which I found interesting as it was fashion with a space theme similar to my theme for this project the aim was to design fashionable space wear a key rule is that suborbital wear submittals must be functional and scientific, but don't forget a stylish chic.
