Got a Few Million Lying Around?

In case you’ve booked your tourist trip to the International Space Station (flight, plus room and board: $20,000,000), but were hoping for a little more zing from your vacation, the ever-entrepreneurial Russians have the answer.

Scrape your pockets for another $15,000,000, and you could join the club of only 151 humans who have ever actually “walked” in space. That is, you leave the station and join The Void.

Along with handing over the Rubles, you’ll have to complete a month’s worth of training, and prove to be of sound mind and body.

[By the way, the Russians apparently never mentioned this little plan to NASA, so they have no comment.]

I know it’s idle to talk impossibilities, but if I had the money, I’d be there sooner than you can say, “152.”

Here’s the link to the “Space Today” article, which also links to other, longer articles. [End of Topic]

    Ohhhhhh yeeeeahhhhh.

    Just put away $1 today, $2 tomorrow, $4 the next day, and so on, and pretty soon you’ll have enough. 😉

    Yes, the rice-on-a-chessboard method of financial gain.
