Space Tourism - Russia

Back


22 April 2002 In 2002, 28-year old internet tycoon Mark Shuttleworth became the first man to blast off in a spaceship as a paying guest. The price tag? A cool 20 million US dollars. With both America and Russia suffering drastic cuts in funding for their space Programs, enterprising Russians have taken the lead in the latest space race -- the race for tourists. As well as Shuttleworth's trip, they've designed a spacecraft capable of taking tourists on a quick orbit of the earth for a more affordable $100,000.
