WASHINGTON, D.C. ? You don’t have to be an astronaut anymore to experience walking in space. All you need is $35 million and the willingness to risk your life.

A private Virginia firm that already has sent three super-rich men to the international space station for $20 million each announced Friday it would offer an even rarer adventure: A stroll outside the space station for an extra $15 million.

With the blessing of the Russian space agency, Space Adventures Ltd. is arranging for the first spacewalking tourist to go into orbit in about a year or so. The trip would involve a launch in a Soyuz capsule, an eight-day stay aboard the international space station and a 90-minute spacewalk in a Russian space suit. An extra month would be added to the six-month cosmonaut training.

The plan still needs the approval of the other 15 partners in the international space station – including NASA.
