Already a waiting list for rides in outer space....

[SSMAN]

Apparently Tom Hanks, Ashton Kutcher and others have their tickets bought. That would be a nice ride.

Yea, I'd be interested. Right now it cost $250,000 per seat, but I think that price will start to come down in the next ten years. There is one other company, XCOR, that I think has a viable future in suborbital passenger flights and they are planning to be a bit cheaper. Once these people make back their money on the hardware, the prices will get better.....


For the really rich, I think we'll have orbital passenger flights in 2020 with SpaceX and Bigelow Aerospace. SpaceX is progressing on their manned capsule. The unmanned cargo version is flying to the space station next month. Bigelow builds inflatable space station modules. They have two test modules already in orbit. The only thing holding them back is the lack of a commercial space craft that is able to reach any space station. SpaceX and Boeing expect to have their manned capsules ready in 2016 but SpaceX will be the far cheaper ride about about $10million per seat.
