Can you believe this? 20 million PER PERSON to visit the
MIR for a brief holiday??
Do we have to know somebody or what to get that kind of
money to discover how to produce practical gravity control?
Geez, 10 million and 3-5 years, I think we'd have it

Space Station Set to Orbit As Hotel for Rich?
LONDON (Reuters) - It would be the ultimate tourist
destination the Russian Mir space station decked out as a
luxurious resort orbiting 125 miles from earth.
This is no James Bond fantasy. A group of investors has
signed a $20 million deal to rent Mir and turn the aging
space station into an out-of-this-world holiday spot and
commercial laboratory.
``We're sending a mission up in March to knock on the door,
switch on the lights and see how everything's going up
there. It's a risky venture but we're feeling confident,''
said Jeffrey Manber, president of MirCorp, the company
behind the venture.
But it doesn't come cheap. Space tourists will be asked to
fork out $20 million a head to visit the outpost which
measures five school buses in size.
