The Worst of All Worlds

For a mere hundred million clams, a start-up British aerospace company will cram you into some old Soviet space hardware they bought at a fire sale and send you up on a sight-seeing trip round the Moon. Sounds safe.

They'll probably have a little work to do on the old space junk before they can launch it, of course. If it's sporting the Union Jack, it absolutely must leak oil. That's a law. Maybe they could get some Harley-Davidson engineers to give them a hand... Nah, then it'd cost $250 million. But you'd probably get a free jacket.
