British company Excalibur Almaz is set to sell tickets for adventurers who would like to take a trip around the moon.

Yes, the actual moon: a 500,000 mile journey that would take place in a converted Soviet-era space station.

Mr. Dula has acquired two Soviet Almaz space stations, originally designed for orbital spying operations. Thrusters attached to the stations will convert them to long-distance spaceships.

Four re-entry capsules, or re-usable return vehicles (RRVs), will ferry three people at a time to the orbiting space station and return them to Earth.

All the space vehicles are housed in hangers on the Isle of Man. One of the RRVs is currently being exhibited outside the Queen Elizabeth II conference centre in Westminster, London.

The private British space company will carry out the first manned Moon mission for £100m (or $157 million US).
