So, It Must Be Nice…

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!

I am still saving to get to Disney World so I can go on Space Mountain…
