Background
The last fl ight into space with a tourist on board was in 2009. The tourist was a Canadian businessman called Guy Laliberté /gi… lœ"li…bErteI/. He spent 11 days in space, which included a trip to the International Space Station. Only six other people have visited space as tourists. The longest amount of time spent there by any of them was 15 days. There are many people who would like to travel into space, but at the current price of over $20 million, not many people can actually afford to go.
