Space tourism package will be sold at Gramado fair
No Buenos Aires, New York or Machu Picchu. In 2014, those who do not like football can flee the World Cup by going to space. At least that is what promises the company Sanchat Tour Operadora, which will be offering "special and space" packages in which the tourist will have a privileged view of the fine terrestrial atmosphere. At a height of 100 km, the passenger will also see the entire region from Florida to Brazil, including the Caribbean.
The one-hour flight will cost about $ 100, 000, the equivalent of $ 203, 000. But the whole process requires certain mandatory steps. For starters, groups of 12 passengers will be formed and all must pass a medical examination that will assess the physical conditions required for the tour. In addition, a short simulation training will be given to tourists, who must be at least 18 years old to embark.
The trip will be made by the Lynx spacecraft, shown in the image above and flight will be made by the Space Expedition Curacao (SXC) agency, departing from Hato airport in Curacao, Caribbean, and having the same location as a return destination. Throughout the journey the passenger will enjoy a transparent dome that will provide a spectacular panoramic view.
If you are interested in this tourist itinerary and are passing through Rio Grande do Sul can learn more about the opportunity at the Gramado Tourism Festival, which takes place between November 22 and 25, 2012.
