To date, the Russian Space Agency in partnership with Space Adventures Inc. has taken three "Space Tourists" to an international space station for 20 mil a pop. (The third wanna-be returned to Earth a few days ago.) The website says "This is not space camp," and the company offers extensive sim and physical training. Apollo 11 moonwalker Buzz Aldrin supplies the space cred by being on the board of directors and no doubt, loving the paychecks.

Rich Japanese dude Daisuke Enomoto hope to be numero four. And he wants to go dressed as a Gundam character. Hoping to be the first intergalactic cosplayer, Enomoto-san has already shelled out for the flight and is waiting for the Russian Space Agency's approval.

Say "no." Lord please, say "no."
