Tourist-Class Soyuz Spacecraft Seats Open

Posted by simoniker on from the lance-bass-wears-suit-to-get-upgrade dept.

brandido writes "Put another notch in the belt for space tourism - Space.com is reporting that: "If you're looking for the ultimate in get-up-and go, take note: Tourist-class seats will be available on a Soyuz spacecraft bound for the International Space Station in 2004-2005. This off-planet trek comes courtesy of a deal struck between Space Adventures, a U.S. adventure travel firm, Russia's RSC Energia and the Russian Space Agency (Rosoviakosmos)." However, NASA has yet to be officially notified or to give formal approval, so there are still some speed bumps in the road map."

    I am all for space adventure vacations. But I think most of the folks on Slashdot might be more interested in some discovery of the deep. I see their site offers Titanic examinations... that's all well and good, but... I really, really think most of us are interested in an adventure deep in the cavernous bowels of the goatse man.

    Talk about a REAL adventure!
