Yeah was talking about this in irc the other night but noone was listening. I had never realised his dad was an astronaut, must have been cool in school when they all had to stand up and say what their parents did!

Ticket was $30m but sounds like most of it was paid for by corporate sponsors.

Ah, no idea how much he actually paid for it. I was browsing youtube and found an interview where he said that he has over time invested a bunch of money into privatisation of space, and Spaceadventures especially. The company that organizes those trips.

Oh and 30 million is still on the cheap side, http://spaceadventures.com/index.cfm?fu ... ar.welcome ;)
