Space Travel Links
Commercial space travel is becoming a reality. Some wealthy and adventurous individuals have actually already done it!
There are also plans to start scheduled flights that leave the earth's atmosphere for a few minutes. Below are some of the more interesting links on this subject as well.
All links open in their own browser window.
Space-Travel.Com
This site has daily news on space exploration, travel and tourism. Also other closely of not-so-closely related stuff on high-tec. The perfect waste of time for every little (or big!) boy.
Space Wander
You can take a virtual trip deep into the Universe on this site. The presentation has apparently been created using authentic NASA pictures. Warning: can take a while to load if you are on a slow connection.
Space Adventures
This company plans to fly suborbital flights, voyages to the Earth's orbit and even historic expeditions around the moon. Better start saving your pennies then...
Bigelow Aerospace
This company develops commercial spacecraft and space complexes. We quite like the videos of their recent missions.
Charles in Space
This guy Dr. Charles Simonyi has visited the International Space Station (ISS) and put up a stylish website to tell everyone about it. Who wouldn't?
Dennis Tito
... but it appears Dennis did it first.
Virgin Galactic
Sir Richard Branson is at it again! This time he offers you the chance book your own spaceflight for a "mere" $ 200.000 (as of February 2008) and be one of the first to fly the Virgin space shuttle into earth's orbit.
