	the first commercial space flight is scheduled for december 2001. You should be in a hurry because there are only 6 people per flight. Bookings are now being taken for a $98,000 by Zegrahm Space voyages, organizer of the voyages. Indeed, this is a 7 day package in which 6 days are spent in training, for the 3 hour trip into space. "We plan to begin operating our space experience travel program with passengers flights to space in 2001. our first scheduled departure is set for saturday , december 1, 2001, our history-making voyages will utilize a revolutionary two-stage flight profile with a sky lifterTM vehicle elevating the space cruiseTM to rocket-firing altitude," says a zegram spokesperson...Your ultimate destination: astronaut altitude, 100 kilometers above the sea level.
