This Day in History - April 28

On April 28, 2001, Dennis Tito became the first space tourist in history, and it cost him a mere $20 million.

I have no doubt that, before I die, and assuming the government doesn't over-regulate the industry, market forces will allow me to be a space tourist for a little more than the cost of a plane ticket.
