X Prize
If you want to get in on the action, form a group and develop a rocket capable of launching a spacecraft with three passengers to a height of 100km. With endorsements from Tom Hanks and John Glenn, the X prize is succeeding at jumpstarting the space tourism industry. The $10,000,000 prize helps also.
Fly me to the moon (and back)!
Have you ever been on a cruise? Get ready to do it all over, this time to the moon. Budget Suites of America Hotels owner Robert Bigelow has already invested $500 million dollars to pursuing a half-mile long "cruise" ship that would take passengers to the moon and back.
A different kind of Lottery
If you're feeling bad that you don't have the money to go into space, perk up. An organization called The ShareSpace Foundation (led by chairman and former astronaut Buzz Aldrin) is working on setting up a lottery system to allow everyone an opportunity to enter space, regardless of income.
