To go to the final frontier…
So apparently in about 2 years time space tourism will be all the rage.
London’s Daily Mail reports that:
“Plans have been revealed for ‘Lynx’, a two-seater ’space taxi’, which will be capable of flying 37miles above the Earth from 2010.
Flights will cost passengers £50,000 for a journey in the rocket-powered vehicle that is intended to operate like a normal aeroplane by taking off and landing on runways.”
The Lynx jet will run on kerosene and liquid oxygen so I am guessing there is no smoking allowed, and it will be capable of flying several times a day.
Jeff Greason, CEO of XCOR, said: ‘The Lynx will offer affordable access to space for individuals, researchers and educators’.
Ummm WHAT! Affordable access to space!
