QUESTION
I don't want to really fly there, it would last too long and probably would be too expensive.
But nevertheless I really wonder if it is already possible, and if so, how expensive it is and which companies offer such ventures.
ANSWER
- Currently the only variant to visit the cosmos is to go to the International Space Station
- The only way to visit the ISS is to go there aboard a Russian Soyuz (spacecraft). Note: you must go through some training before this.
- The price is up to
$40 000 000(and$15 000 000more to go to open space). - In the near future the Russian company RosCosmos is going to provide tours around the Moon, but it is still a project, not a real tour perspective.
- Other tours are all about near-Earth flights.
Update
Space Adventures announced the first commercial flight to the Moon in 2017 (50 years from Appolo 1 flight), the price is $300.000.000 for two places. Flight will be done via russian Soyuz.
Good luck!
