This Is Russia's Next Space Station for Tourists

Looks like the space tourism industry is heating up. RSC Energia—the designer and manufacturer of the Russian ISS modules—is creating a new space station for tourists, scientists, and evil genius wannabes. Construction could start as soon as 2012.
No price for the tickets yet, but the station will be prepared to accept spacecraft from any manufacturer.

    haha i'm sure it'd be the most amazing thing i've ever seen...but i think for only about a day or so. plus i don't think it would be worth the money you'd have to spend on it. i mean unless you're rich enough that it'd be like pocket change.

  44. JRamOctober 5, 2010 at 5:40 AM

    Those tickets would probably be insanely expensive given the price of rocket fuel, high tech equipment maintenance, level of skilled personnel required, and a buffer of risk.
