There’s An Easier Way To Satisfy Your Outer-Space Desires

We all want to go to outer-space and enjoy the stars and planetary eye-candy up there, but there's a more simple way to get that fix right now.

While most of us never got the chance to go to those awesome space-camps we saw on TV shows as a kid, there are other ways to get your outer-space fix.

One option is training to become an astronaut to go and live on the International Space Station orbiting Earth… but it looks cold up there and requires a lot of effort, so we’ll give that a miss.

Another option is to go to the star-studded Planet Bar and restaurant located at the Mount Nelson hotel – this place really puts the astronomic in gastronomic (hold your applause).

Chef Rudi Liebenberg has created an out-of-this-world menu featuring smoked crocodile, Namibian red crab, rooibos cured ostrich and springbok, as well as some great options for the vegans out there.

The bar itself offers a stellar fireplace where you can enjoy the Brandy and Tapas pairing on offer, while the restaurant has marked the return of their Beef Wellington, which is priced at R295 for two people.

The International Space Station doesn’t have beef Wellingtons, does it?
