Early in the 21st century civilians began traveling into space. The inherent risks that come with space travel can be greatly minimized from the high safety standards adopted by the space companies. The high cost of spaceflight is now under $100,000 bring it within the reach of many who have been looking forward to experiencing this thrill.
Flights to the International Space Station, which are sparsely offered by only Space Adventures on the Russian Soyuz Rocket presently, are the most expensive trips. The cost for this kind of space trip ranges from $30-$55 million, with EVA (a space walk), making it impossible for most. We will not include the $150 Million circumnavigational moon flight recently booked anonymously from Space Adventures with no departure date scheduled. The space flights offered by companies like Virgin Galactic and XCOR are a relatively short trip from about 200,000 to 330,000 feet above the Earth. That means, you will fly to the edge of space and be able to see the Earth's curvature and view Earth below.
You can also experience all of the thrills of the trip, weightlessness, the rockets thrust and G-forces for a much lower price, which means that more people can afford it and decide if it's right for them. As compared to the $30 million or more it costs to fly to the International Space Station,a suborbital flight experience can be had for under $100,000. That means you can enjoy all of the thrills of space travel for less than 1/10th of the cost of the orbital alternative. If you've always wondered what it would be like to feel the weightlessness of outer space, and look out and almost touch the universe, you can finally find out for yourself. Today is the perfect time to reserve your future space flight.
For under $100,000 it can be done. Your journey begins with only a $20,000 deposit. Complete your medical questionnaire and travel out west. Experience an altitude chamber and an exciting aerobic flight to get the feel of what your future experience has in store. Plan your future space flight soon and become a part of civilian space flight history.
