Luxury Travel
by Josh Lew on November 7, 2007
According to New Voyage News, the space tourism industry is about to take off. A company called Rocketplane Global is tweaking the designs of their suborbital craft.
Rocketplane Global, Inc. has finalized significant changes to their suborbital vehicle the Rocketplane XP. The changes are focused at making the vehicle more responsive to the emerging sub-orbital tourism market and also represent refinements to the engineering design.
Is space tourism in the near future? Yes, but probably not for you and me. A seat on one of the first twenty five flights of the new Rocketplane will set you back $250,000 US.
So there you have it. Space, the ultimate undiscovered travel destination. The only problem is that it will take more than a sturdy backpack and a money belt of traveler's checks to make the trek.
