The Final Frontier

I’ve mentioned Virgin Galactic before, the possibilities of privatized space travel, and the enormous price tag that entails.  However, there is another company out there, and the price does go down (a little).

Space Adventures will take paying customers into suborbital euphoria for the low cost of $102,000 (not a small sum, but only about half of what Virgin Galactic is asking).  I’m not saying I’ll be able to afford to go any time soon, or even in this lifetime, but it’s nice to know competitive pricing is on its way, and maybe one day someone will be able to afford to go without having won the lottery first.
