In honor of today's
unveiling
of SpaceShipTwo, the first commercial spacecraft, here's a wish
list I've held in my head for some years:
- Actual stay in orbit (e.g. via Soyuz to ISS - $35,000,000)
- Simulated Mars mission (e.g. FMARS - cost unknown, substantial time commitment)
- Sub-orbital flight (e.g. Virgin Galactic - $200,000)
- Zero-G experience (e.g. ride on the Vomit Comit - $5000)
- Simulated astronaut training (e.g. Space Camp - $500-900)
- Zeppelin ride (e.g. Airship Ventures - $200-500)
