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.

Well this is a great unexploited market! will do good to the russians if it gets to bloom!
wow, that looks amazing :)
nice blog dude, keep up the work
sounds cool
but I think it will be kinda expensive xD
this is the only thing I want to become a millionaire... to be able to have a little trip to the space :D
I'll start saving then :p
Wow, we/they've come a long way from the launch of Sputnik I fifty-three years ago today.
That's a nice looking space station. Would be one hell of a vacation.
That would be so much fun.
whoa. for tourists? nice
looks great
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.
Be amazing to be a tourist in space. Wonder what the hotel deals will be like...

I want to go to space. MAybe I'll open up the first true space hotel.
sounds great !
supporting you.
take care
It's smaller than a salyut :/
Sounds awesome but will require a bit of money I think...
I wonder how you could make something like that profitable, except by selling to rich people...
Neat-o!

I wish I had the money. D:
I wonder if it's expensive :D average person won't be able to pay that price i think
i wanna go! i'll start saving money now!
This is something I've been waiting for since I was a child, always thought I'd have to pull a 9/11 style hijack on NASA.
too bad im poooor
That really looks cool. All they need to do now is make it REALLY affordable :D
Awesome. I wish I was a trillionaire so I could afford a ticket.
Maybe one day I'll be able to take a ride in it
one of my dreams... for someday.
the "to accept spacecrafts from any manufacturer"-part really surprised me. are there that many manufacturers for spaceshuttles?
yeah, russia!
very interesant
Build my childhood dreams faster! :D Can't wait to sit back, relax and read me some comics in that puppy.
i think space travel is still too expensive for the average tourist lol
wouldnt like for my travel agent to go bust while i was up there looks interesting though
That is the same year "the world is gonna end". Coinsidence?!
Love to go there someday!
I really need to become a millionaire soon so I can afford these kinda trips :D
Mike,
Lifehack's guide to getting high off your body, out now!
it would suck to be up there when the nuke war breaks out...
I heard about that. Crazy stuff.
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.
going to space for a holiday...
sounds lame and expensive
Probably will be super expensive. Only a few visitors a year I'd imagine
Haha, cool.
Any idea of the price of such a trip?
S!
Canä't wait to travel to space. Maybe I can afford it after like 30-40 years or so :D
very interesting indeed
Damn that's pretty badass. Leave it to the Russians to have all the cool ideas.
