Astronomy Cast - Ep. 214: Space Tourism

http://www.astronomycast.com/archive/ From January 3, 2011. Have you ever wanted to go to space, but lacked the… uh, I dunno, everything… to be an astronaut? A whole new industry of space tourism will take you where you need to go. There are now companies offering zero-G flights, sub-orbital flights, and there have even been paying customers who have gone into orbit. Is this going to be space travel for the rest of us?   We've added a new way to donate to 365 Days of Astronomy to support editing, hosting, and production costs.  Just visit: https://www.patreon.com/365DaysOfAstronomy and donate as much as you can!
