Private tourism goes Circumlunar as soon as 2015
That is thanks to Space Adventures, a company you may remember from April of 2001, Space Adventures hosted then the first private space tourist visitation to the International Space Station. According to this article Space Adventures has sold one of two 100 Million to 150 Million dollar tickets aboard the first circumlunar voyage, including a lengthy stay on the ISS, and a 7 day voyage around the earth and moon coming as close as 100 km to the lunar surface. Before a return trip lasting three and a half days that is. So who will buy this lucky open seat? And more importantly what does this bold initiative mean for fringe business heads like Elon Musk, and Sir Richard Branson? Hopefully a lot.
