Traveling to a galaxy far, far away is no longer a travel destination reserved for astronauts as the Intergalactic Travel Bureau will be providing intergalactic vacation packages for star-gazers this summer -- without actually sending anyone to space.
Hosted by the outreach organization Guerilla Science, the agency will set up shop at the FIGMENT Art festival on Governor's Island in New York and provide potential jet-setters with information on their favorite intergalactic getaway spot.
The whole ordeal is set up as though one can actually go to these planets, with pricing options provided and the ability to send a postcard from one's destination of choice given to interested parties.
The project was designed to educate people about space exploration and promote Earthlings garnering a more in-depth knowledge of the solar system.
