A Chinese travel agency is charging 15,000 yuan ($2,200) for a tour and tickets to watch the Shenzhou 7 launch on September 25. The four-day package includes accommodations, meals, air travel, and choice viewing seats for the launch of the three-man spacecraft. The crew is set to undertake China’s first spacewalk during the five-day mission.
If you are an average Chinese taxpayer who helped to fund the flight, you are out of luck. The package is only available to the media. Sorry.
