SpaceX to fly tourists into deeper orbit ——Ticket prices are not being divulged, but expected to be in the millions WASHINGTON-SpaceX announced a new partnership on Tuesday for a venture that will send four tourists deeper into orbit than any private citizen before them, in a mission that could take place by 2022 and easily cost more than $100 million. The company signed the deal with Space Adventures, which is based in Washington and served as an intermediary to send eight space tourists to the International Space Station, or ISS, via Russian Soyuz rockets. The first of these was Dennis Tito, who paid $20 million for an eight-hour stay on the ISS in 2001.The last to go was Cirque du Soleil founder Guy Laliberte, in 2009.
