It seems Space X are planning a circumlunar mission for the tail end of next year. Not only that, but 2 of the astronauts will be space tourists who've paid for their seats...

If it were anyone but Elon Musk I'd dismiss it, but there's little doubt his organisation has the technical wherewithall to do it.

I think it's fantastic, we're well overdue to leave LEO again. Can't wait.

I'm trying to think of a way to move into the space industry but I think I'm to embedded in cybersecurity.

If India is in on that one, back them.

India launched over a hundred cube sats on a single flight recently, it sounds great, but is little more than space litter and there are concerns these cube sats are going to present a hazard to safe transit before long.

Yep. But the council will clear up.
