Planet Earth – Glance from the Outer Space

Being an astronaut is, perhaps, the most widely-spread wishes among the little boys. Indeed, who would refuse a chance to rise up to the stars and have a look at our Planet Earth from the orbit? Actually, this opportunity today is much closer to people than ever before. You don’t even need to become an astronaut: spaceships for space travelers are already built and tickets are on sale… Though, if you are not ready yet to invest USD 20-35 millions into a space trip, you can still enjoy the pictures, taken from the outer space, featuring our home Planet Earth. By the way, with the so-called suborbital flights, a chance to look at the Earth from 100-160 km height may cost just as little as 200 000 USD.
