1)Keralite Santosh Kulangara is set to become India's first space tourist. Space tour operator Virgin Galactic, an offshoot of Richard Branson's Virgin Airlines has confirmed Kulangara's booking on their flight into space scheduled for early 2008. Paying 90 lakhs (9 million INR), or the equivalent of USD 200,000 for a 75 mile ride may seem pricey to the average Joe, but not to this travel freak.
