Dennis A. Tito., A U.S. millionaire of 60 years, in 2001, became the first space tourist to fly into space by paying $ 20 million to the company MirCorp. To remain in the International Space Station (ISS) since 30 April to May 6, 2001.

This year Anoush Ansari to 40 years old, an American multimillionaire Iranian origin, has become the first woman to make space tourism travelers to the International Space Station (ISS) aboard the Russian spacecraft Soyuz TMA-9. The ship was manned by Russian cosmonaut Mikhail Tiurin and Spanish origin of the American Michael Lopez-Alegria and was put into orbit by a Soyuz-FG rocket launched from the Baikonur cosmodrome in Kazakhstan.

Eric Anderson, executive officer of the U.S. company Space Adventures, which works with the Russian space agency Roscosmos, was responsible for the trip Ansari. Previously, Anderson was also the organizer of the trips of three other millionaires: two Americans and a South African, who previously traveled to the International Space Station (ISS) aboard Soyuz craft.

The first two space tourists, Dennis A. Tito and Mark Shuttleworth each paid $ 20 million for his spacewalk. Ansari has paid this year $ 25 million. However, Peter Diamandis, an aviation visionary, believes that in a few years the private space companies will drop prices quickly to less than one million dollars and possibly for 2013, there will be commercial suborbital flights, and it may be possible Private colonization of the Moon by 2025. Other futurists predict that within a decade or less will be 1,000 passenger aircraft and supersonic business jets around the world within hours.

This prediction seems to be true. After the shuttle Columbia disaster, NASA plans to withdraw its remaining three ferries (Atlantis, Endeavor and Discovery) by 2010, while several private companies are developing various projects of spacecraft to be the first to win the tourism market space because of the prizes offered by some millionaires as Anoush Ansari, who is sponsoring a prize of $ 10 million for private enterprise to develop tourist spacecraft, and Peter Diamandis who in 1996 created the X-Prize, a reward $ 10 million, the first person to build and launch a spacecraft capable of carrying three crew members at an altitude of 100 kilometers, and bring back to land safely in the same boat, over a period of two weeks .

For the company this year, Airbus expects to have a double-deck aircraft with the capacity to carry nearly 600 passengers.

Another important project is the company Virgin Galactic, which aims to become the first commercially viable space line in the world was introduced to all the media in London on September 27, 2004, at the Royal Aeronautical Society in London, England.

Virgin was the company founded by Richard Branson who in the mid-90 registered trademark for space tourism. Branson has joined the organization Burt Rutan of Scaled Composites, founded by entrepreneur only spatial Paul G. Allen, and has licensed the intellectual property rights of Mojave Aerospace Ventures to develop and build the first commercial spacecraft to the world right in principle for the suborbital space tourism, but with the idea of going further in the future .

The aviation of Burt Rutan's Scaled Composites is responsible for SpaceShipOne prototype, whose technology will be the sole basis for creating the first line of the world passenger space, with larger vessels and even safer and more efficient than its predecessor. Moreover, there are plans to train pilots of the new spacecraft.
In Canada there is also a group devoted to space tourism that has developed a suborbital rocket ship, and is now at orbital trips with a new "espacionave" which is both a hypersonic glider. PlanetSpace is the firm which designed the Silver Dart spacecraft, an eight-person vehicle derived from studies in the 1970s, experimental aircraft, hoping to carry passengers on orbital tourist flights and bring supplies to the Space Station International.

The Silver Dart is a device designed to plan from hypersonic speeds of Mach 22 to landing. Is expected to ship off vertically on a set of about 10 Canadian Arrow rocket engines and land horizontally on a runway for aircraft.

The first space flight of the Silver Dart to happen after the launch of the inaugural manned Canadian Arrow, the first of which is scheduled for 2008 and will be followed by four other flights.

Diamandis said that "There is market for thousands of launches a year," and believes that "the first billionaires will be in space."

The trip Ansari has been a litmus test for the promotion of space tourism, one of the new business development in connection with the exploration of the cosmos, which in a few years will probably become a regular activity and costs due to cheaper new technology being developed by various private organizations.

Comprensión auditiva
"Pastillas para no soñar"
Joaquín Sabina

Si lo que quieres es vivir cien años
no pruebes los licores del placer.
Si eres alérgico a los desengaños
olvídate de esa mujer.
Compra una máscara antigás,
mantente dentro de la ley.
Si lo que quieres es vivir cien años
haz músculos de cinco a seis.

Y ponte gomina que no te despeine
el vientecillo de la libertad.
Funda un hogar en el que nunca reine
más rey que la seguridad.
Evita el humo de los puros,
reduce la velocidad.
Si lo que quieres es vivir cien años
vacúnate contra el azar.

Deja pasar la tentación
dile a esa chica que no llame más
y si protesta el corazón
en la farmacia puedes preguntar:
¿Tiene pastillas para no soñar?

The role of women in society has evolved considerably since the nineteenth century, began the struggle to assert their rights to freedom and equality that are fundamental to the full development of his personality.
Currently, women are entitled to access to education and work in equal conditions and opportunities as men. With this many women and girls today, studying or working in areas that were formerly reserved exclusively for men, as the army, politics, economics or law, mechanical engineering, science and technology, handling of heavy machinery or space, etc.. But most important, is that they play with equal efficiency and responsibility that men and increasingly women who are noted for their intelligence, dedication and honesty achieved great things and providing professional development for their countries.
However, despite the right to women's equality is enshrined in international declarations, constitutions and labor laws in the twenty-first century in many countries, the facts have not yet achieved full equality between men and women.
For example, when a job opportunity is sometimes prefer to hire a man and not a woman. And if the professional woman manages to be hired more than once a victim of sexual harassment or remuneration is paid less than their male counterparts, despite performing the same tasks and have the same responsibilities. In other cases, when a woman becomes pregnant, and did not renew his contract, or if married or have children nor want to hire.
As we can see, all these problems unfairly, have their root in a wrong mentality about the status of being a woman and not on reasons of ability or job performance.
Despite all this, the role of women has been revalued and is increasingly important to their participation and contribution. For this reason, it is necessary that women be aware of their rights and defend itself, with respect to pursue their happiness and fulfillment as a person.
