Space Tourism

So the big new thing to look forward for in the future is the ability to take a vacation to space and be able to see the earth from a great distance while floating around. There have currently been three people who have freely payed to take this trip. Though currently the cost is more than practically most people can afford, it is expected in the future to become more affordable. Private companies in the United States, Europe and Russia are working to make space a destination travel place, with the idea of space hotels not that far fetched.
There are several links here that, if your interested, will give insight into the the progression of space tourism.
