Circumlunar- the spaceship revolves round the Moon on a circumlunar trajectory

and returns to Earth.
2 natural attractions available by lunar orbit: View of the far side of the Moon and
View of the Earth rising and setting against the lunar horizon.
Excalibur Almaz and Space Adventures are charging $150 million per seat, a price
that includes months of ground-based training.
Lunar Landing: Tourists will land on the surface of the Moon.
The Golden Spike Company is charging $750 million per seat for future lunar
landing tourism.
Orbital tourism:
Seven spaceflight participants so far have ridden Soyuz spacecraft to the
International Space Station for one week stay and many more are still waiting to
go. The cost will be in the range of $30 million.

Suborbital Tourism:
Such rides would be 15-30 minutes for the rocket segment and re-entry.
The visitors would experience 3-6 minutes of weightlessness, look down on a clear
view of the curvature of the Earth, see bright stars in a black canopy above.
No suborbital space tourism has occurred yet. Three companies which are expected
to begin selling rides on spaceships that will fly to 100km or higher.
Ticket prices are in the $100,000 or $ 250,000 range.
Suborbital spaceflight contest: companies around the world began to sponsor
promotional contests in which a suborbital spaceflight was the grand prize.

High altitude jet flights:
The tourist can travel in MIG 25 to 36 km.
The cost is $24,000.
Weightlessness on aircraft flying parabolic trajectories: [ZeroG vid]
[How it works] Before starting a parabola, flight flies level to the horizon at an
altitude of 24,000 feet (7 kilometre). The pilots then begin to pull up, gradually
increasing the angle of the aircraft to about 45 to the horizon reaching an altitude
of 32,000 feet (9 kilometre). During this pull-up, passengers will feel the pull of 1.8

Gs. Next the plane is pushed over to create the zero gravity segment of the
parabola. For the next 20-30 seconds everything in the plane is weightless. Next a
gentle pull-out is started which allows the flyers to stabilize on the aircraft floor.
This manoeuvre is repeated 15 times.
The cost in the US are currently $3750- $5000.
