You know how the company Virgin Galactic takes paying customers to space? And how some Russian facility allows customers to spend a week on the ISS? Well, how about putting this in stock KSP? Say, Gregdorf Kerman wants to go to the Mun. Slap a rocket together, stick him in it, send him on a one way trip *cough* to the mun, bring him back, and he pays you funds. You would also get some Reputation for doing this contract.

Huh? Huh? What do you think?

If you bring him back it's not exactly a one way trip is it?

Anyway, this is basicly what the plant flag on <body> contract is if you don't cheat them with already pressent Kerbals

It was supposed to be a joke EDIT: The "one way trip part"

Anyways, it adds the extra risk of death (Of not just pilot, but passenger). In which case you would lose a LOT of reputation.

EDIT:

Holy wow, <body> creates a lot of code.... Look at your post! (by quoting, not editing. sorry )

As valid as your suggestion is, it is hardly original.

Here's one made just a few hours before you did: http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/97196-Idea-Space-Tourism-Contracts

We at SpaceM like to refer to that as "fundraising". :cool:

You sir are thinking on the right track!

You know how Sierra Nevada and Virgin Galactic are sending people into space for big money. What if we could do that in KSP with kerbals we could make SSTOs or rockets sending them into space to a certain Altitude for a certain amount of time, or to a Space Station for a time, or maby even the Mun or Minmus. The could be a Tourist Department in the Space Center, because if you look close enough flying over the Space Center you can see roads that lead to no where. It could be an optional thing that you could turn off at the Space Center.

JohntotheBrogan,

If you find a good idea, it's okay to post to the same thread instead of starting a duplicate.

Cheers,

Oh God, f****** tourists... they're even in my VIDEOGAMES!

VolgarTheMighty · October 19, 2014

I'm fairly certain Maxmaps said during the livestream yesterday they're trying to add tourist contracts along with Fine Print for the next update.

I think this is a great idea and should be a extension of the pre existing rescue mission

tater · October 20, 2014

Meh. It's basically no different than a "go to orbit" or whatever. Not at all novel, IMO. The rescue missions are only really interesting when you first encounter one, then they are trivial. Missions need to be more varied. A lot more varied.
