Five Years After It to the Moon Tour


Space Adventures, a space tourism company, plans to make a tour around the moon in less than 5 years. This program will use the capsule and Russian rockets.

Russia's Soyuz rocket is set for two tourists who are interested. They and a commander will be launched into Earth orbit to meet with unmanned rockets that have been sent previously. Furthermore, the rocket will launch them to the Moon.

There is also an alternative route. They were sent to the International Space Station (ISS) prior to launch to the Moon. This trip will take eight or nine days.

The tourists will not land on the Moon, but will rotate around it at a minimum distance of about 100 kilometers. Tourists can see the moon's surface is heavily and saw "the publication of the Earth" which until now only witnessed by 24 people.

Tourists are asked to spend about 150 million U.S. dollars for this trip, or about five times the cost of space tourism to the ISS so far. Today, one person is sure to go. Space Adventures is still looking for one other tourists. Are you interested?
