Anderson/Ideal Candidate
Eric Anderson
Chairman, Space Adventures

The ideal candidate for space flight is someone who is optimistic about the future, someone who believes in human curiosity. Most of us have and in a curiosity and at least find the idea of space fascinating. It's probably someone who has had the financial success and in opening in their schedule. Say, they've sold their company or their transitioning to a point in their life when they have more time. And it's not something that's like climbing Mount Everest to have requires a great deal physical fortitude or being in shape like running a marathon, those things are actually much harder. It's something that requires a few months of your time and some optimism about the future and it's really more of an intellectual venture that it is a physical venture.
