Space tourism; how bombarding can this business go? How often do you hear of people booking flight tickets to the space at Nasa Airlines? Nasa might not be heavily promoting their space tourism flights, but Boeing is getting ready to.
Boeing will offer space tourism to its CST-100 spacecraft or Crew Space Transportation-100 – low orbit flights by 2015. Operated by a partnership with Space Adventures, the flights will be able to carry up to seven passengers about 62 miles above Earth’s surface and the craft are currently being developed with the help of NASA.The space shuttle could also be used as a ferry to get people to and from the various space habitats companies are working away at. There’s no word on what the pricing of one of these journeys will look like, but I assure you it’s going to be more than just a limb and a thigh and your right eye.
