for only $200,000...

We all know what happened to the first, and so far last, Israeli who went into space. Ilan Ramon flew to space on the NASA space shuttle which exploded upon re-entry.

Now you can go up and hope for better results. Being that it is commercially run and not governmentally run, this expedition might come out better, but then again who knows...

Virgin Galactic is selling tickets in countries around the world for the first non-astronaut flight to space. The flight is expected to happen around the end of 2009. Tickets are now starting to be sold in Israel. The cost of a ticket is $200,000 and 200 people have already bought tickets, with 500 tickets remaining...

Hurry up and get your tickets while they are still available... you do not want to have to buy them from guys outside of the ticket office scalping them for much higher prices...

  2. I do not know. It never really interested me, but if money was not an issue, I would likely go... just like I would travel to a lot of places around the world if money and time were not issues
