Space Tourists are getting their own Ride. Space Adventures, a Virginian Company normally arranges a channel for the wealthy explorers to ride on Russian Soyuz rockets to the International Space Station.
It is appeared on news online and print media that Sergey Brin, a co-founder of Google is going to occupy one of the two available seats on Space Adventures' 2011 flight. He made $5 milloin as an investment in the company serving as a deposit for his future travel.
A similar space ride happened with Mark Richard Shuttleworth. Shuttleworth gained worldwide fame on 25 April 2002 as a spaceflight participant aboard the Russian Soyuz TM-34 mission, paying approximately US$ 20 million.
These sought of pleaseure / research rides to the space should happen very often to explore the boundaries on space, and I wish I could make my own trip to space once in my life time to appear on the IHT News. Cheers!
