Sweden Does Space Tourism

As early as 2012, tourist flights to space will be launching from Kiruna in Northern Sweden. Among the attractions: the possibility of flying through the aurora borealis, and catching a glimpse of the Northern Lights from space.

Which, I have to believe, must be one of the most amazing sights ever...



Flights will be operated by Virgin Galactic, and tickets will be available for $200,000 from the nearby Ice Hotel.
