The space tourism race has heated up with a second company offering tickets for suborbital rides at less than half the price of competitor Virgin Galactic's.
Rides abord XCOR Aerospace's Lynx spaceship are being priced at just $95,000. All space flights will be piloted by astronaut Richard Searfoss. Tickets selling now - be quick. Flights commence early 2011.

It's less then half the price of Virgin and you say it's not a good deal?!?!?
This deal should be posted in NASA's website.
Oh you're a humourless bunch ;)
I guess it's technically a bargain… but no. :S
for some ppl out there its a bargain
This is your second post now, no need to be gentle on you any more.. lol
LOL - fair call!
Great find, thanks! Have been looking for a cheap flight to space for a while.
lol
lololololololll…
A space trip for $95,000??? Bargain! LOL
But no thanks…
haha, only $94000 more to save and then i'm going
yay i can finally afford to go to space!
Do you know if the Fuel Levy included in the price?
Also, I would like to find out how may freq flyer points would this accumulate?
Now that's the spirit.

Is that including a spacewalk too? I'm hoping it's a return flight…
nope, $95k is a one-way ticket only, there's no return :) have fun floating outer space
Its sub orbital so you're not really even going to space I believe. From what I've heard you simply go up that high that when you start to freefall you can experience a sense of weightlessness….
You will see stars at that height, and will look like space, but I wouldn't class it as going 'into' space no.
Great, so I pay USD?$95k to get to throw up…
They'd want to have very bloody fancy sick-bags on that air-line!

The details about the trip is too vague.
They didn't even list the destination nor the price of a oneway ticket
That's fantastic. <H1><blink>This deal is now truly irresistable.</H1></blink>
Is there a choice of flight? I would like to get on the later flight, I need my beauty sleep.
Gold!
LOL is the only word to describe what is being discussed here!
wonder if i can take annual leave.
Reason for leave: going to space.
Are departure taxes included?
Can't be more then USD$7000…
Rip off - in the 30 minute flight, you don't even go into orbit!
/me trying to think up some humours lines that involve "beam me up, scotty"…
…Which reminds me of the all-important graffiti from the toilet wall in the original Leisure Suit Larry game - "Scott Me Up Beamie"…
