One of Leicestershire's main tourist attractions is the National Space Centre, and if you operate an establishment close to the modern-day museum, your hotel furniture is likely to be kept in high demand by budding Buzz Aldrins and aspiring Neil Armstrongs.
The National Space Centre opened its doors for the first time in 2001, and while only a dozen people have walked on the moon, three million people have now made their way to Exploration Drive for a family-friendly, science-inspired day out by the River Soar.
In honour of reaching the three million visitor milestone, the venue recently blogged some of its favourite space facts relating to the number - for example, the Saturn V rocket weighed just over 3,000,000kg on launch; the budger for the movie Moon was £3 million; and Red Dwarf character Dave Lister lived for three million years on the show.
Lister - as well as being a near-namesake of Leicester - is a particular favourite of the National Space Centre, who put together an infographic of some of their favourite facts about the character.
For example, after living for three million years (most of them in stasis) it is no surprise that Lister's birthday is described as being October 14th only "most of the time", he failed every exam he ever took and spent just 97 minutes at art school.
Perhaps most worryingly for those of us in the hotel furniture business, his past hobbies apparently included stealing hotel bedrooms!
On a more serious note, for Leicester's hoteliers, the National Space Centre is a hugely important attraction, providing something truly unique, and a valuable addition to the more conventional galleries and museums of the city and its surrounding towns and villages.
It only opened in June 2001, making this summer its 14th anniversary - meaning it has had roughly 214,000 visitors each year so far to reach the three million milestone.
Modern hotel furniture can help to give guests the sense that they are living in the space age, even if it's just an ultra-comfortable leather sofa or armchair to aim for that feeling of weightlessness.
