Space Adventures was one of the first civilian space travel companies that allows high net worth individuals to realize their dreams of traveling to outer space. Their vision is to open up space flight and the space frontier to private citizens over the next decade.
Space Adventures clients will fly on suborbital flights, voyages to Earth’s orbit, and historic expeditions that circumnavigate the moon. Flights will leave from spaceports both on Earth and in space, visiting private space stations, and aboard dozens of different vehicles. In 2001 they flew Dennis Tito, the world’s first space tourist, into outer space. Stacey Tearne, VP of Communications for Space Adventures, gives us a feel for civilian space travel from the ground up.
