Pick up a trip into space from a supermarket. Today in Austria tickets for orbital trips can be bought in an ordinary discounter just for 210 thousand euro. Despite the paradoxically of the situation the experts are assure that the offer is quite real. It is possible to say that it is a successful publicity stunt.
“Milk, bread, butter and a ticket into space, please!” In theory it’s possible to hear this phrase in any Austrian Penny supermarket. The discounter offers its customers to buy tickets for XP Spaceplane provided by Rocketplane Global. Regular flights will be launched by the end of 2011. The launching pad is the cosmodrome in Oklahoma. The tourist will stay in zero gravity condition for about 10 minutes. Although the offer is not new but it is rather tempting. General Representatives of Space Adventures consider that such a short space flight will become a very popular entertainment. The cost of the trip is just 200 thousand euro. It is not 30 million dollars as for the flight on the international space station. Thus, most probably that the worldwide client base will be rather huge.
However not many people will buy tickets for the Spaceplane in the supermarket because of a discord between the product and the sale place. People, who can really afford to pay for such a flight, don’t visit supermarkets very often. At the same time everyone should acknowledge that it was a mutually beneficial decision for the retailer and the space tour agency to announce about the project this way. Hearings have reached even Russia and that’s the best proof that the project is already popular. It is a wonderful news occasion to write about the supermarket to mass-media, thus, it is a wise PR decision which has drawn attention to the project.
Today the ticket cost for Rocketplane Global is 210 thousand euro; the figure is comparable with offers of Virgin Galactic. Experts consider that by 2011 – 2012, by the moment of launching of commercial flights to the orbit, the figure will grow to half a million euro. It is not known if this sum will decline and when exactly it will decline. That’s why it makes sense to wait with hasty investments for those who wish to get into space or to contact an excellent service and implement a long life dream of millions, get an unusual personalized or corporate Christmas gift and get a free link for the site promotion.
