Trip to space for $20K

Move aside bungee jumping and Rock climbing. Get set go! space tourism is here for you.But is earth not enough for the tourists and adventurers that this whole new concept of a 4 min joy ride has evolved . Well this would surely be the latest "cool" thing for the bigwigs and a dream for the "still to reach there" types.What's more interesting is that there would be dedicated centres all around the world for the booking of tickets as well , just like the regular holiday package booking centres.Is it worth it ? well only those who would have experienced this unique and one of its kind voyage can tell that.That is simply awesome.We all must have used the Google earth software at some point in time or the other at least once and I am sure all of us must have been looking for our houses , the roads on which we travel and spots in our city.Imagine when the whole virtual , buffered and coded earth would translate into the big real Earth , watched by your gleaming eyes ,stunned and stoned !!!(though you wouldn't be able to see your house , unfortunately , our eyes cannot magnify objects in a 2X,4X,8X fashion). Imagine watching the big geographical structures like the great wall of china , the rivers, the forests,etc. and trying to identify them. What's more fascinating and exciting! Out of sight at escape veolcity and experience the zero gravity feel. All I can say is WOW

When Dennis Titto became the first "leisure traveller" in space many thought that the guy had too many bucks to spend or he must have had an unfulfilled dream to become an astronaut in NASA.Not many would have thought that this feat of his would give rise to a whole new revolutionary era of space tourism.Now that we would have the booking centres in India, I am quite eager to know who these bunch of guys would be to give it a shot. Not surprisingly, there would be many sensible guesses - the likes of ambanis,tatas and birlas.Not to forget the cricketers too.

If man ever successfully concludes his experimentation on Mars to prove that its possible to for humans to sustain and life can exist symbiotically, happily and peacefully,then this whole idea of space tourism would definitely be a stepping stone towards that long awaited journey to travel to Mars and shift to his new apartment !!This may sound like exaggeration or a far fetched conclusion but this is definitely going to be something on which the "cosmic" brains of the world would be looking at. It wouldn't be a surprise if after 20 years from now a trip to space would be something well acquainted with people and would cost lower that what it is today.Every desirable and better than the rest thing in this world is getting commercialized and cheaper. Take the example of air travel.Then at that point in time if existence of life on Mars is proved possible and rational, space trip would definitely be extended to the next destination - Mars .

Having said all this , I would like to admit here that even I want to travel in space .Now that I know its very much possible and up for a grab , the craving is more.The only setback is the M factor. I desperately need sponsors.Doesn't matter if its for 4 minutes only,those would be the 4 most thrilling , exciting ,adventurous and one of the most unforgettable moments of life.

God, are you listening????
