No More Space Tourists After 2009, Russia Says

Posted by timothy on from the after-gathering-up-all-of-these-box-tops dept.

mknewman writes with disappointing news for anyone with the money that it would have cost to fly as a space tourist, excerpting a story that says "Russia's space chief says there won't be any more tourists headed to the international space station after this year. Anatoly Perminov told the government newspaper Rossiiskaya Gazeta that there will be no room for paying tourists because the space station's crew is expanding from three members to six."

    Yeah, because quoting The Onion is funny, tasteful, and insightful. If I had modpoints, I'm mod you like +10 funny. You would've easily been a 15 if you'd included Xkcd, and heaven forbid you should link to Penny Arcade... they'd have to buy a new server just for the rating I'd give you!!!
