At a fee of $980 dollars a year, one can join the Spaceflight Club at Space Adventures where this fee can be set aside as credit toward the price of a future spaceflight. And at $100m per seat to go to the moon, apparently the recession has not hit the type of clientele that Space Adventures is dealing with. And news has it that a seat to the ISS may be open for this upcoming September--which was supposed to be occupied by a Kazakh cosmonaut.

With space tourism getting ready to get into gear by 2010, tickets have been selling for $200,000 each, through agencies such as Virgin Galactic's SpaceShip Two, as compared to the previous $20 million dollar rides offered by Space Adventures to view the International Space Station http://www.akgmag.com/article/Price_Cuts_on_Space_Travel.htm Sat, 04 Apr 2009 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.akgmag.com/article/Price_Cuts_on_Space_Travel.htm By Nancy L.

Beginning in April 2001, Dennis Tito was considered the first traveler to pay for a space trip out of his own money, with Space Adventures setting up more trips for the average citizen to travel in space. There is room for space markets regarding space tourism at a cost of $20,000 per trip, with trips becoming more popular as the cost will decrease over time. http://www.akgmag.com/article/Space_Travel_in_2009.htm Sun, 08 Feb 2009 00:00:00 -0600 http://www.akgmag.com/article/Space_Travel_in_2009.htm
