Russia announces it will start selling rocket tickets for $250k next year

CAPSLOCKSTUCK · Feb 15, 2017

KosmoKurs is steaming ahead with plans for Russia's first reusable spacecraft for tourism, which is scheduled to launch as early as 2019.

The company's CEO Pavel Pushkin has said a trip into space will cost $250,000 - the same as Richard Branson's Virgin Galactic project, which after a number of setbacks has stopped estimating when it will send passengers into orbit.

'The spacecraft will be launched from a Russian cosmodrome. Space flights will be conducted at an altitude of Yuri Gagarin's flight,' Pushkin told RIA Novosti.

The trips will allow six people to travel in space for 15 minutes, of which around a third will be in weightlessness conditions.

Wonder how this "Flys" Regarding Current/future Sanctions ?
America So far has made "Parts of the Russian Space Program as Far as its usefull to American Aims Sanction limited".

How ever a commercial Space Program may not "ESCAPE SANCTIONS"
DONNALD DUCKY / Congress JUST MIGHT DECIDE Sanctions are "in the light of Russian Global muscle flexing" Needed to protect American jobs and commercial investments.

Yet they are Subject to the Whims and political aspirations / funding from Politics
Science Does not Fund itself Science is Funded by Politics and political/commercial considerations

Sorry man but that type of crap is going on a bit over here too and with Allies of the USA that treat the USA Chief and Commander with contempt as far as I'm concerned and if it would of been at the pub one of us would be in jail and the other in the hospital. Sorry man I'm a hard core patriot and I wouldn't do it to other and wont allow it to happen to my self either. If that's the TYPE OF SHIT I have to read on this site then I would rather take a PERMA BAN!

FreedomEclipse · Feb 15, 2017

I will take out a loan and buy a ticket so long as this dude is there...

dorsetknob · Feb 15, 2017

Respect is Earned you don't automatically get it just because you become President
Guy was not Respected before he became president and has done nothing since to earn any respect.

I dont mean to shit on your rant there. but England & the UK are one entity, not two... England is in the United Kingdom - although we're not as United as one would think as Scotland wants independence and so do the welsh to a lesser extent. Everyone just hates everyone here. No unity at all until you step into a pub.

250k for 15 minutes in "space"? lol!

CAPSLOCKSTUCK · Feb 15, 2017

ISS is a fine example of cooperation in space......ISS would be dead in the water if Russia wasnt a partner. Only Soyuz has been there since 2011.

Dont forget Apollo - Soyuz 1975..........at the height of the Cold War

Edit
President Trump wants to send men back to the moon......... :peace:
