Draft Guidelines for Space Tourists

Posted by Zonk on from the i'm-looking-forward-to-intra-orbit-takeout dept.

IZ Reloaded writes "Draft guidelines for space tourists have already been written in the United States." From the article: "A paying customer will now be able to fly into space once he has been informed and accepts the risks of space travel. There are several factors to take into account, depending on whether a passenger is taking a speedy "pop top," up-and-down, suborbital voyage, versus climbing onboard space machinery to roar off into orbit for an extended stay."

  1. Passenger Licenses? by Tekgno · · Score: 4, Interesting

    What would be the best way to manage the medical requirements for travel?

    Would a sort of license work? This would save being rechecked for frequent flights.

    Wake me in a few years, until then, I'm going back to playing EVE online.
