Interesting article about this on the SDC home page this morning. Seems like approximately 20 mil per one-way trip. I'm being slightly facitious here, but is this another example of typical 'government procurement practice' when you can get a round-trip ticket through commercial brokers for the same price?<br /><br />With the advent of CEV, I guess NASA are not so favourably disposed towards the outcome of Russian projects such as Klipper, etc. However I wonder, slightly seriously, whether NASA shouldn't have 'creatively managed' the price of these Soyuz seats, given Roskosmos 50 mil per, thereby shooting them some much needed extra cash.<br /><br />Big picture-wise, I would have thought it's in NASA interest to see another vehicle capable of visiting ISS. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><em><font size="2" color="#ff0000">Who is this superhero?
