space tourism... and what that means for the rest of us

from 2012 Vertu limited edition phone owners can also travel to the rim of space for a cool 200 000 bucks.
'Space tourists' ,as they are called, can take a Virgin Galactic flight that takes them to a hight of 16 km to look at our good old planet as long as it is still around. However - Geoscientists believe that an estimated
1000 or more flights per year will have a big impact on our climate as small particles - left overs of the huge amount of fuel being burned - will remain in the stratosphere and may even have an impact to the layer of Ozone.
Now - this may seem far fetched, but i'll be mad like crazy to experience more of this super-hot summer days only to have some rich blokes sip champagne in out space. AJ
