What do these things have in common? Travel, long trip, tangerines, gravity and money all have in common? Nothing you say. I say they all have something in common. Commercial space travel is what they have in common. Yes thats right. I just dated everyone and myself because in our lifetime we will see commercial space travel. Tangerine Travel in the Seattle, WA area is one of many different companies board approved for travel agency for space flights.
You can contact Pam at Tangerine Travel and get on a list to go up. They will be ready to start flights in a year and a half they say. They shoot you up to 635,000 feet. You then get to see the curvature of the earth, get to unbuckle and throw m&m's around as well as experience 0 gravity before you eventally "glide" back down to earth for a safe landing. All this is done with 6 passangers and 2 pilots...and a pee bag. Yep thats right there are no bathrooms but they do give you pee bags.
I know what you are all thinking...no there are no one way flights with this, but for $200,000 you can have an out of this world experience. So fork over the dough and you can be a space cadet!
