Title: Russian Space Travel on the cheap...
Post by: Travis on 2002-12-02T03:47:04-06:00 (Monday)

Here's a pretty FLASH intensive website that offers some interesting travel packages...
:-D

http://www.mir-corp.com/web/2k2/flash/intro.htm

Yes, the people who put Dennis Tito in space are now offering various travel packages/options to the general public.

Hrm, Cosmonaut training starts at $180,000, to experience Zero-G is only $5,000, and flying Mach 2.5 "on the edge of space" in a Russian Mig 25 Foxbat is a mere $12,000 (Cheaper for slower/less exotic Russian aircraft).

Now's your chance to fly in a Russian Flanker, Flogger, Fishbed, Albatross, Fulcrum, or a Foxbat.
:-)
Extra packages like "Top Gun mock air-to-air combat" extra.  :-P  

Amazing what large sums of money can buy in Russia nowadays.  

Although this website doesn't offer it, a while back I saw a Russian website where you could buy various Russian tanks, choppers, smaller naval craft, etc.
Obviously they costed quite a bit of money... but if you have a few million dollars lying around you too can own your own T80 SuperTank!  :-) )

So where exactly do I buy one of those tanks?  And can I change the OS on them?

Oh, and I'd like live ammunition too; is that included or is that the premium package?

Thanks for your help in finding the right solution in mayhem. :-P  :-P  :-P  :-P

Did they have submarines for sale?

I'd really like to have a submarine to stick in the Lake of the Ozarks to freak people out with.  It would be pretty interesting to be looking through the periscope in Party Cove.
