Tourist space travel, not that far away?

Xcor Aerospace announced plans for a two-seater commercial spacecraft called the Lynx on Wednesday. It was also announced that Lynx could probably take its first test flight by 2010. The spacecraft would allow passengers to take a 25-minute spaceflight. “Our company’s goal has always been to build rocket-powered vehicles that can be flown like regular aircraft,” said company president Jeffrey Greason, who claims that the Lynx is relatively environmentally friendly: “They are fully reusable, burn cleanly, and release fewer particulates than solid-fuel or hybrid rocket motors,” he says.

 

The Desire for Space and its Toys

Got the desire for space? Space Desire Service can help you send your stuff to outer space via their rockets. It can be anything such as DNA sample, hair, accessories, engagement ring, or even digital data such as photos, text, video files, music or other data files. Wouldn’t it be nice to have the photos of you and your lover fly to outer space along with your oath and vows?

It comes with a certificate and a dvd recording of the whole process. But again, for me the toys just look a little bit more attractive than the plan itself.
