Space Tourism

For anyone who feels too flush to spend £10K on a Mig-25 flight:

For those of you who haven't been following Scaled Composite's SpaceShip One, this is the first commercial manned spacecraft (altitude greater than 100km) ever, can't go into orbit but made history back in the summer.

just read the same story on sky's site they are quoting approx £115,00 depending on how many space ships are built, mind you i've seen these stories before many times and don't think it will materialise for some time yet due to lack of investors willing to risk the venture.

Maybe a few quid could be knocked off by simply flying you to Area 51in the Nevada desert, and making you believe you were on the moon !

Saw an amusing reposte to this today, V*rgin may well be charging 115k but shortly after EasyOrbiter will be charging £5.50 (one way, G&T extra) excludes taxes and sundry charges
