I have compiled a dream list of well known international personalities in many areas of talent. Mostly derived from business, music, movies, authors, television, sports and cards. I am sure that there are many others who could have possible space flight interest that were not included. So if you know of any of these noted celebrities, or of others that might have the desire in going to space, please let them know about this article so they can become more aware of the opportunity. The selection is solely based on authors opinion of both being able to afford the programs as well as their possible desire to take on this experience. No use of any names is intended for any other purpose as no permission was granted for their use.

Although Virgin Galactic has obtained the most recognition to date, it should be established that there are several other notable space groups, such as XCOR, Space Adventures, SpaceX, Blue Origin, etc that are preparing for space travel. Some, beginning in 2012, are planning to be an integral part of pioneering the opportunity to take you to the edge of space. With different flight models, it is advisable to familiarize yourself with the several types of programs available, as cost ranges from $95,000 to $200,000 and one can travel with others passengers or even alone. Go to Wikipedia and research ‘Space Tourism’.

We have broken our list by category even though some personalities could be placed in multiple classes. We have also selected the top earners in all appropriate sports divisions. We would love to announce those in their respective areas of expertise if they wish to become acknowledged for their future space flight participation. Future participants may have already registered or on the edge of registering. This is truly the ultimate high adventure experience of a lifetime.
