The New York Times reports that SpaceX expects to launch 4 tourists into super high orbit by the end of next year. Tickets are being sold through Space Adventures Inc., the company behind a previous trip to the International Space Station. This trip will be much higher, up to 750 miles above earth, and the company are already in discussion with potential clients, who are expected to pay somewhere in the region of $35 million;
