For $200,000, tourists would receive a weeklong package that includes spaceflight training, resort accommodations and short test flights to simulate weightlessness.
Up to five tourists would then prepare for a horizontal takeoff aboard a special rocket plane, climb to 40,000 feet before rockets fire, accelerate to 3,500 mph, coast for a few minutes of weightlessness 62 miles above the Earth, flip over and then return to ground.
