Wired has a cool article in the new issue about commercial space travel. "The first private launches could happen next year for up to $250,000 a ticket," they say. So let's see... the down payment on my new home, or the trip to space? Hmmm. That's a tough call. Unfortunately, Wired didn't reprint the article online, so I can't give you a link. But check it out on newstands. They've also got a nice, two-page map of the world with all the commercial spaceports marked.
Thankfully, Trendhunter has an interesting story on their blog this week about space tourism, which I can reprint.
$35 mil a pop? Not bad.
