Here's an April Fools' joke we actually want to be real: Royal Caribbean UK has announced it's building a spaceship called "Orbiter of the Galaxy," which should be taking passengers on space cruises by 2030. 

Yeah, something similar has been announced (actually announced) by Virgin Galactic, but Royal Caribbean promises one thing we really, really need: fast Internet connection throughout the solar system.
