Space Adventures ('Our Mission Is Your Spaceflight') has announced that it's offering a spacewalk as part of a two-week package holiday on the International Space Station. See http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/5204926.stm:
Eric Anderson, president of and CEO of Space Adventures, said his company already had "potential clients" for the spacewalks. Those with enough money would get to "hang out" outside the space station with a trained cosmonaut as a guide, he said. "One and a half hours is about one orbit of the Earth, so they'd see the entire planet," said Mr Anderson. "They'd experience complete daytime and nighttime and watch the planet in its beauty and splendour."
TAKE NOTE: Space Adventures also reckons it'll be offering a trip to the moon some time around 2009! Cost? $100m!
