not April 1st any more. Lost in space with time on your hands

Surprised or what. Bertie Ahern has resigned as First Minister (sorry Taoiseach). Often when they go politicians say it's to spend more time with their families.
Or he could always turn to the latest exclusive travel pursuit - space tourism - "the final frontier", "it's a holiday jim but not as we know it..." etc etc. But with the arrival of various players in the market, space flight as a recreational sport is now a viable if expensive option. It's not Budget Travel but how about Virgin Galacti yeah that Virgin, or Rocketplane or Space Adventures . Holiday in Mars, Baggage in Heathrow terminal 5. And when can we expect to see DIT Faculty of Tourism and Food add to it's stable of courses which includes Leisure management, Event management, Tourism Marketing, Culinary Arts with a BA in Space Tourism.
