First Commercial Space Tourism Company
uberdave writes "The Canadian Arrow team (one of the contenders for the Ansari X-Prize) has joined forces with Dr. Chirinjeev Kathuria, a leading American entrepreneur, to form a new corporation called Planetspace. The goal of the company is to make space flight available to the public within 24 months.
Geoff Sheerin, President of Canadian Arrow, says that Planetspace has entered final discussions with partners who will establish a reality television show set in space, and with a company to hold an international lottery with space flight prizes. Planetspace expects to fly almost 2,000 new astronauts in the first five years of flying. Fares will start at USD $250,000 for a suborbital flight, including fourteen days training."
Notice they didn't say which planet these 24 months were measured from.
You will be able to play Duke Nukem Forever on the Phantom game console during flight!
...and today, a new standard of total sadness was achieved as it was announced that the first commercial venture to put humans in space will be in the form of a reality television show.
Dont be silly and look at his name, obviously its some sort of human powered flying contraption. I believe the company is especially interested in hiring someone to fill the Icarus position to replace the previous incumbent who left the company in rather unfortunate circumstances.
Do not try to read the dupe, thats impossible. Instead, only try to realize the truth
What truth?
There is no dupe
"...discussions with partners who will establish a reality television show set in space..."
Captain: Do you see any signs of intelligent life on that planet?
Science officer: Most definitely not, sir!

A better response would have been "two chicks at the same time".
Their nearest competitor, who is steadily gaining ground with the men in the lucrative 18-34 age bracket?
Whore.
Thank you, I'll be here all week.
Now all they need is a working rocket!
