It is not too early to book your Virgin Galactic flight into space. Although U.S. flights will begin in 2011, a premier venue will be Sweden with flights beginning in 2012. At $200,000 it is a bargain, although the article doesn't make it clear whether these are year 2009 or 2012 dollars. Around 300 tickets have been sold so far.

Even if you're not interested in the travel, there is an unrelated, very sweet art photo of two sisters on the same page as the space tourism article that makes a visit to the web site worthwhile.
