Travel agents book flights to space

A Maine travel agent can book a flight to most places on Earth. Soon she'll be able to book your flight to the stars, reports AP.

Pamela Hurley-Moser was one of 45 agents across North America selected for training to become an "accredited space agent." That means that eventually she'll be able to reserve seats aboard Virgin Galactic's sub-orbital space flights.

The experience won't come cheap for customers.

It's expected to cost $200,000 for a 2 1/2-hour flight 75 miles above the Earth's surface. The first flight isn't scheduled to take off until 2009.
