Do you want to see the moon – Up, Close & Personal?

Writing about web page http://www.wired.com/news/space/0,2697,68495,00.html

Yes, it is finally happening. The company 'Space Adventures', in collaboration with the Federal Space Agency of the Russian Federation, is planning to take travellers around the far side of the moon in a Russian Soyuz TMA spacecraft. Apparently the far side of the moon is much more attractive than the near side because it has got more impact craters from Asteroids, Meteorites and other objects in the deep space.

They are offering 2 package deals.

1) A 5 1/2 day lunar flight and up to 21 days at the International Space Station.
2) A 9 day trip with 3 days of flight on a low-Earth orbit and 6 days around the moon

WOW …

Hold on, dont' start packing ur bags yet. You have to wait for 3 to 4 years before they can confirm the trip. And start saving today to pay for the $100 million that they are charging for it.

If this trip is a success ..they are expecting the next one to land on the moon. Now that'll be something.
