From Yahoo! News: "Thinking of spending that next vacation on the moon or Mars or circling the Earth? Before liftoff, there's a list of things the would-be 'space flight participant' should know.
"More than 120 pages of proposed rules, released by the government Thursday, regulate the future of space tourism. This don't-forget list touches on everything from passenger medical standards to preflight training for the crew."
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has posted a Fact Sheet on Commercial Human Space Flight on its website. The Federal Register notice and the docket of the proposed rulemaking are available for review. The longer, original notice of proposed rulemaking is available on the Department of Transportation site.
