Dream to be on the “Edge of Space”

A big dream of mine is to experience what it’s like to be in the outer space. This enthusiasm came about when I happen to come across this show in the Arabic network on MBC entitled “Laish La” (meaning why not). It is all about the list of four Saudi Arabian guys who have a list of things they want to do before they die. Their lists brings about enthusiasm to go to places they’ve been like Beijing, Mongolia and Russia and empowerment to do the things not ordinary people do. They also do stuff like serving humanity by providing medical and dental services to those indigent people like the ones in Mongolia.

In the early years, you need to be a scientist or physicists or chemist to get to the outer space. Only a privileged few can go. Those who can contribute in exploring the science in the outer space are the ones able to get there. But then, upon watching TV. I discovered that even an ordinary civilian can experience being outside the space. Several Aeronautical Companies provide Space tourism. One of them is Russia “The country of Tourism”.

Mig 29 and Mig 23 are two of those private jet planes they fly to the outer space. They can accommodate one client seating just behind the pilot’s seat.

Here is a view taken from one of the flights to the outer space. An image that is usually seen only in satellite maps from Google. You will notice the the darkness indicating that you are already out there. Oh what a incredible sight!

If you are one of those aspiring to reach the “Edge of space” you can pay a visit to their website:

Chat with them and they are all very accommodating to answer all your inquiries about the flying to space.

I was able to chat with Mr. Sergey Skuratov and he gave me pictures of the first Arab man in space. Which actually the reason why I was able to nagivate to their page watching their episode on the show. He told me he flew with one of the hosts of the show last February 2015. He also gave me the fees and some of their package fares. He also asked about adding me into his Facebook to see more of the pictures of their clients Aero space adventure.

However, being an ordinary citizen from a third world country. this dream is too big that I have to save for like 20 years to achieve for this best journey in my life.

So now I just watch another client videos of their explorations from Facebook and find pictures of the earth’s view in space.
