$100 Million will get a Space Tourist to the Moon and Back

Today at the International Space Development Conference in Los Angeles, Eric Anderson of Space Adventures presented an update on his companies successes and future plans. Among the future plans is the first space tourist ride to the moon and back. The cost, a paltry $100 million. Who would be interested in spending such a fortune you ask? Well none other than Greg Olsen who recently spent a week on the Space Station as Space Adventures last customer. He said he was seriously considering it but jokingly said he would have to sell another company.

Anyone else ready to sign up?
