Spaceport Singapore is expected to provide suborbital spaceflights,
parabolic aircraft flights and other space tourism experiences:
Space Adventures.
An integrated spaceport offering flights into space will be ready
in Singapore by 2009.
Among other exciting programmes, the spaceport will bring those who
can afford it, on trips to space.
For those without a spare hundred thousand US dollars for a space
flight, much cheaper simulated space walks, tours and
astronaut-for-a-day programmes will be available.
The spaceport, to be built in Changi, will be both an educational
facility.
NEVER before has the prospect of a 100km journey from Singapore
caused such excitement.
Take it and you will end up not in Malaysia or Indonesia but in
space, contemplating the curvature of the earth and the darkness
that lies beyond.
A United States-based company, Space Adventure Ltd, is joining
hands with a Singapore-based consortium to set up Spaceport
Singapore.
The venture will be fully operational by 2009 and offer.
