Space tourism is a big potential growth industry. But, consumers are a fickle breed. As soon as something becomes available, no matter how spectacular, the consumer wants more.
Japanese firm, First Advantage, is ahead of the curve. They know that customers won’t be satisfied with just being space passengers. They are going to want space plus.
From Breitbart/AFP….
A Japanese firm on Tuesday began accepting reservations for couples who really want to make the big leap — by blasting into space to exchange their wedding vows.
Each happy couple will spend 240 million yen (2.3 million dollars) for the ceremony in a small space vessel, which will shoot up 100 kilometres (60 miles) into the sky.
That’s right, space weddings.
Two thoughts off the top of my head. First, if I’m going to spend $2.3 Million, I at least want the option of having Elvis perform the service.
Second, will people who get married in space be able to follow up with a space divorce?

there’s no comments in here, because none of us have 230 million yen, and do not feel that this can replace Vegas for value in marriage ceremony. Also, it should be flagged as a hazard to children.
