Congratulations to Fredrick Engstrom and Heinz Pfeffer for their commentary in the Nov. 16 issue ["Space Tourism is a Hoax," page 15]. Unfortunately, this inconvenient truth will always be misunderstood or ignored.rnThe response of Al Globus in the Nov. 23 issue [page 18], for example, misses the mark. Engstrom and Pfeffer never claimed that an orbital ticket is priced at $200 million (they state $20 million), and it is totally insignificant if suborbital tickets are offered for $20,000 to $200,000 or for $120,000 to $200,000.
