Getting the Russian Soyuz capsule prepped to take two tourists around the Moon.
More capitalism: Getting the Russian Soyuz capsule prepped to take two tourists around the Moon.
The key detail in this story is not so much that they are beginning to figure out the engineering upgrades necessary to fling a Soyuz capsule around the Moon but that Space Adventures has apparantly finally gotten two passengers who have put down deposits for the lunar flight. For years they have said they had one ticket holder, suspected to be James Cameron, but without a second passenger the flight could not go forward. It now appears that they have gotten a deposit from that second person.
