If you have ever wanted to travel into space—it’s possible now. You don’t have to be an astronaut. You don’t have to work at NASA. You don’t even have to be a smart. The only thing you need is MONEY!
Space tourism appears to be the newest fad among the rich and posh. With the latest traveler to space being the well-to-do fiancé of Martha Stewart, I am beginning to wonder how astronauts and others working at NASA feel about the ability of just about anyone to travel to space if they are willing to pay enough money.
According to HowStuffWorks.com, ‘tickets are going for a mere $20 million for a one-week stay in space.’ The same website also notes that within the last ten years several reports have been publishing noting that the ‘space tourism’ industry could, potentially, be worth billions of dollars.
The idea that anyone with enough money can travel to space has led to the creation of space tourism companies.
This is an insane industry and goes to show that clearly money CAN buy anything!!!
