Wouldn't that be the ultimate school trip!!?

Spaceflight Ticket Prices

If you're planning a visit to the International Space Station, you'd better book your trip now - because prices are going up. A seat on the Russian Soyuz spaceship, the only flight available to space tourists, now costs $30 million, compared to $25 million earlier this year. Next year, the price will go up to $40 million.

Officials with Space Adventures, which organizes the trips with the Russian space agency, blame the falling value of the dollar for the price hike.
