04. How much would it cost to go up with the Russians? (A K2S Question)

From The Space Library

The Russian space agency, Roskosmos, would be very happy to take your money and send you into orbit for a week or so. They have a great safety record with their Soyuz spaceships—they haven't lost one in over 25 years. That only costs about $20 million, but there are rumors that the price is about to go up. Via Space Adventures, five people have done it so far: Dennis Tito, from California, Mark Shuttleworth, from South Africa, and Greg Olsen, from New Jersey. Anousheh Ansari, originally from Iran, and Charles Simyoni, originally from Hungary.
