SpaceX, the private spacecraft company founded by Elon Musk, has struck a deal with Space Adventures, a U.S. tourism firm that has helped organise trips to the International Space Station in the past, to begin offering tourist flights on its Dragon spacecraft. Up to four people will have the chance to break the world altitude record for private citizen spaceflight as early as next year. The cost of this once-in-a-lifetime experience has not yet been disclosed. The last individual orbital tourism flight was carried out by Cirque du Soleil founder Guy Laliberte in 2009 and reportedly cost 30 million dollars
