• Japan's biggest travel agency said it will soon be offering more than ski trips and hot spa getaways to adventurous Japanese willing to cough up the yen for visits to space.
• Japan Travel Bureau said it will handle Japanese bookings for visits to the International Space Station and flights around the moon for Space Adventures, a U.S.-based company that first pioneered commercial space travel by sending "tourists" into space atop Russian rockets, the Tokyo-based company said Thursday in a news release.
• On JTB's itinerary is a $100 million trip around the moon and a $20 million stop by the International Space Station.
• The company is also selling a brief $100,000 flight into space to allow visitors to experience weightless.
• Space Adventures announced plans to fly people around the moon last week, saying it could launch the first mission by 2008.
