For all you very wealthy people out there who like to surf the internet - you can now book your flight online for a place on Mr Branson's Virgin Galactic Spaceship Two! Go to the holiday search engine site www.Kayak.com and input the following details:
I hate to advertise Kayak, especially when I am getting no commission, but to me it brings the idea of tourists venturing off into Space one step nearer reality. Just imagine a time in the not so far off future, when Space tourism is as achievable to most people as popping off on your holidays to the Maldives (if they haven't sunk into the Indian Ocean by then!) Sadly, a university professors salary will not yet stretch as far as the current price tag of $200,000 but I live in hope! Any millionaire entrepreneurs out there that would like to fly into Space but are concerned by the medical risks? Why not take along your own personal Space Doctor (namely, me!) with specialist knowledge and experience of performing CPR in microgravity! |
