    Default Tourism Trips around the Moon


    Fifty years after the first American astronaut rocketed into space, one commercial spaceflight company is hoping to push the envelope even further, with tourist trips around the moon. And now they plan to use a bigger spaceship.

    The Virginia-based space tourism firm Space Adventures has brokered commercial rides to the International Space Station for the last 10 years under a partnership with Russia's Federal Space Agency, which provided the Soyuz spacecraft for the flights. The three-person Soyuz vehicle also forms the core of Space Adventures' trip for two around the moon at $150 million per passenger, but the U.S. company today (May 5) announced a new twist: an extra module to give customers more room during the lunar visit.

    Space Adventures already has one customer signed on for the circumlunar joyride and is in contract negotiations with a second, which means the first flight could occur as soon as the end of 2015, said the company's chairman Eric Anderson.

    If you are a billionaire, wouldn't you want to experience going outside your planet and see the moon up-close for just 1 time in your life?

    $150 million.. and they just rip you off with some elaborate, fancy and expensive flight simulator with very good visuals in a decompression chamber to simulate airless vacuum and zero gravity..
