Russia May Offer Lunar Tourism

Russia's Federal Space Agency is reviewing the feasibility of launching tourist flights to the Moon, sources say.

Industry proponents of the plan have proposed using rockets built by Energiya to power a program to send well-heeled tourists on a space flight beyond near-Earth orbit. Private citizens with $100 million to spare would be accepted as candidates for a trip around the Earth and Moon, according to Moscow News and Reuters.
