A one week trip to the ISS on a Russian Soyuz is believed to cost $20 million, but the actual cost is not public.
Virgin Galactic and Rocket Plane are both expecting to start suborbital flights in 2 or 3 years. You will get 5 minutes in space for $200,000.

Personally they'd have to pay me to go.....at this stage, I think it should be left up to the 'professionals'.
Of course, 10, 15 or 20 years from now we'll probably be taking commercial tours just like you would on a cruise or those all inclusive packages to Europe! I wonder if the future will be anything like what was shown in the movie The Fifth Element with Bruce Willis? ;0)

Well first of all, you have to know somthing about it. So add the cost for education (till college) and then you have to work for NASA then you go to space if you're good.

I think it's $20 million (that's what it costs to go up with the Russian cosmonauts)

Your timing with this question was perfect ---
Here's a link on today's news, telling us that space walks are going to be available for common folk --- 35 million (dollars).
