When you’re in space and you need to buy something, how do you pay for it? That might sound like a ridiculous question right now given the lack of businesses in space and the massive amount of support each space traveler has, but this situation is about to change. In the coming months — yes months, Virgin Galactic’s SpaceShipTwo is supposed to fly on December 25th — space tourism goes from a dream to a reality.
At that point individual citizens will be taking private flights into space, where they will likely need some way of purchasing Dramamine, pictures of themselves in front of the Blue Marble, and all forms of rehydrated food.
