Two New Space Tourists Announced

Posted by simoniker on from the day-trip-to-trumpton dept.

jfoust writes "Reuters is reporting that the space tourism company Space Adventures has signed up two Americans, at $20 million each, to fly on future Soyuz missions to the ISS. No details about who these people are, other than one is a 38-year-old male Manhattan real estate developer. One will fly in 2004 and the other in 2005.

    These guys are basically announcing to the world they're greedy self centered bastards who would rather blow $20 million on a joyride than feed a starving NATION for a year (or wipe out a minor infectious disease etc).

    It's my sincere hope that in 100 years we look back on this kind of bullshit waste of money the same way we look on slavery today. With wealth comes responsibility.
