Space. The Final Frontier. The mysteries of it have romanced men and women for decades, but up until recently, space was the purview of an elite group of scientists and aviation experts.
With citizens now accepted for space travel, albeit at a price tag in the $20-35 million range, space tourism looms as a very real possibility. American Dennis Tito was the first Space Tourist, spending nine days in space back in 2001. Since then, five others have made space their destination, including one woman, with visits ranging from 11 to 15 days. In October 2009, Guy Laliberté (founder and CEO of Cirque du Soleil) will make the trip.
Now’s your chance to sound off about what you would do. If money were not part of the consideration, would you take a vacation in space? Vote below and feel free to expand you answer in the comments.
