Adventure travel at its finest - and at around $40 million, its
most expensive
Space is – as Star Trek puts it – the
"final frontier". Commercial Space tourism is still a tiny market
by anyone's standard, but it has definitely arrived – for those who
can afford it.
Understand
Driven to prove their superiority during the Cold War, as well
as to gain a strategic advantage, the U.S.A. and the U.S.S.R. began
the "Space Race" during the 1960s. In an astonishingly short time
period the U.S. Apollo program landed human beings on the moon and
the Soviet Salyut program kept them in orbit for months at a time.
Probes began to explore the solar system. Space seemed very close;
at one point tickets to the moon and to as-yet-non-existing Space
stations were being sold.
After the Space Race ended, a new sense of reality set in. The
wild dreams of the 60s and 70s died, and humanity turned its
attention Earthward again. Space travel beyond Earth's orbit became
the exclusive domain of mankind's robotic explorers, and
high-profile tragedies both reaching and returning from orbit
provided sobering reminders of the risks of Space travel. By the
end of the 20th Century travel into Space was still exclusively the
domain of governmental organizations.
However, necessity changed the situation with the dawn of the
21st century. Desperate for funds, the Russian Space Agency began
to sell seats on Soyuz launches. Businessman Dennis Tito became the
first pay-to-fly Space tourist in April 2001, and since then a
handful has followed in his footsteps.

Zero-G
While not actual Space travel, the weightlessness experienced in
orbit can be duplicated (for durations of less than a minute at a
time) with a calibrated parabolic aircraft flight, which alternates
low g-forces at the heights of its arcs with high g-forces at the
bottoms. The parabolic flights are notoriously nausea-inducing,
leading to the nickname Vomit Comet, but
commercial operators claim that their shorter flights (15
parabolas) are considerably gentler than lengthy research flights
(40-80).

Sub-orbital flight
Sub-orbital flight is defined as flight at altitudes higher than
100 km but at speeds insufficient to achieve orbit. While there are
currently no operators offering sub-orbital flight, the privately
funded and built SpaceShipOne in 2004 demonstrated that this is a
possible market and the race is on to commercialize it.

Galactic is selling tickets for sub-orbital flights on
SpaceShipTwo, planned to start in 2011, for a cool $200,000 a pop.

Perhaps better
known as spacewalking, this involves exiting the spacecraft to
float around in space. This is now available as an option at Space
Adventures, but there have been no takers yet: opting for this
would cost $20 million extra, requires an extra month of training
and has additional fitness qualifications.

Stay safe
While more mature technology has made it safer than it was in
the 1960s, Space remains an inherently dangerous environment to put
yourself in. Cosmic radiation, extreme temperatures,
micrometeorites, engineering mistakes, high speeds, explosive
fuels, the distance to terra firma, and the lack of atmosphere make
any unplanned situation potentially life threatening.
