Curacao Could Become Spaceport

The Caribbean offers sun, surf, scuba and -- soon, perhaps -- space flights!

Many people come to the Caribbean to get away from it all, but in a few years travelers to Curacao could be taking that to a whole new level. By 2014, the Caribbean island could become home to a spaceport offering tourists space flights, Wired magazine reports. For a mere $98,000, space tourists could board a two-seat Lynx spacecraft operated by Space Experience Curacao and lift off for a suborbital flight to about 328,000 feet above the Earth.
