2013 should be a very exciting day for Britain and for space tourists world wide as another entrepreneur, Steve Bennett joined the race. He has built the Nova 2 (I wonder what happened to Nova 1), a three seater capsule that is expected to take tourists 60 miles up in space. Lifting you up at a £98,000 per person is slightly cheaper compared to Virgin Galactic’s £107,000 price tag.Steve, who is also the head of the Space Technology Laboratory at Salford University, Manchester, hopes to test the 58 foot rocket some time in September 2009. His company Starchaser Industries is setting up a space port site in New Mexico.
