(1.0 p.): Many people would like to travel into space, and many want to go to the Moon. But most people will probably just want to go to space for a little while. According to the Space Policy Institute and the International Institute of Tourism Studies at George Washington University, the first market research on the demand for space tourism was conducted in Japan in 1993. This survey of 3,030 Japanese of all ages revealed that 70% of those under the age of 60 and more than 80% of those under the age of 40 stated that they would like to visit space at least once in their lifetime. Some 70% of these said they would pay up to three months'salary for a trip to outer space. NASA, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, is sponsoring a project to build a space station for holidaymakers by 2012. Wimberley Allison Tong & Goo, an American architectural practice based in Honolulu, Hawaii, envisages [dự kiến] a hotel accommodading 100 people as it orbits the earth. Passengers might be ferried [chở bằng phà] to and from it by the next generation of space shuttles. At present, it costs about $8 million to buy a ticket into space. Two Japanese businessmen were able to pay that amount to join a Russian space trip in 2001. Questions 03. Who paid to join a Russian space trip in 2001? ……………………………………………………………………… 04.
