Space tourism - a snip at $US 200,000

A new experimental Spaceship Two craft may make space tourism more accessible. It has been developed by Virgin, the company of British billionaire Richard Branson. He is offering the cosmic flights for $US 200,000 and tickets are selling well. Some 85,000 applications have already been filled in, including eleven from Russia.

this is a great idea. and the prices will drop. space travel was pretty dear at first, but evntually space tourism will too become affordable, I imagine by the 2040s one will be able to go to space for $5, go to the moon for $20 and most others planets 4 less than 1K. so in the future it will be affordable, sure NASA was asking for $25,000,000 10 years ago now its down to $200,000 the evidence speaks 4 itself :)

@MrDeathBaron you've obviously never been to Scotland.... the bathroom at a disused truck-stop is better than Scotland....  going in to space is much better than Scotland, you get to experience zero G..... the only time you could experience zero G in Scotland is if you wear a Celtic Jersey to the wrong bar in Glasgow and some bloke called Jimmy knocks you 20' into the air.. the problem is you won't remember and will be missing most of your front teeth....
