THE ULTIMATE GETAWAY?

              THE ULTIMATE GETAWAY?

     My wife and I have been to some beautiful
places in Europe, Canada, and the U.S. as
escorts for Travelworld. But the trip I saw
announced yesterday is truly out of this world.
      A company called SpaceX plans to send 4
private citizens into space and around the world
by the end of next year or early in 2022!
        SpaceX is working with "Space Adventures,"
a space tourism business that has helped seven
different people take trips to the International
Space Station. 
          We've been to the Alps in Switzerland
and Austria. We were up pretty high but no
where near earth orbit,
          I must admit the thought of me being
weightless seems very appealing!
          Conversely all of our tours have
included dinners at some very impressive
restaurants. I'm not sure if space travelers
are still using those food "pills" or eating
from toothpaste-like tubes but I prefer a
3 course dinner at some plush place!
            Then there's the question of cost!
Cirque du Soleil founder Guy Laliberte took
an 11 day flight in 2009. That trip cost about
$35,000,000. There's no word on what the
SpaceX trip will cost. But I've got to believe
the cost of a ticket will be "sky high!"
             Of course if you'd like to go but
can't afford it there's always the new U.S.
Space Force!


             Enjoy the trip! Hope all your NEWS
is good!
