With Anousheh Ansari’s launch to space as a tourist, space tourism is all the buzz and all over the news channels again.

Consider this that to be a space tourist:

• you have to for atleast 6 months live and train in Moscow, and no you wont be given a medal from Putin on returning back
• there is a good chance you might fail the medical exams even if you have the moolah, so cut down on all those corporate luncheons for a good year to two years prior to departure date
• you have to be a tiny winy spendthrift, about US$ 20 million for the ticket to space, don’t worry no taxes here
• no you wont get air-hostess or any other private services you might get for that kind of money down on Earth
• in-case you want to float out in the void of space wearing the snow-white jump suits, please add another US$ 15 million to the ticket
• no you cant pee out in space for that kinda money, but you can in the ocean down on Earth, for free
• the trip usually lasts about a fortnight, don’t even think of being homesick, the fellow comrades would just push you outta rocket, and you will be in eternal spins around Earth
• there is no 911 to dial in case of emergency, just yell “We have a problem Moscow!“
