   Eric Anderson, president and CEO of Space Adventures, co-founded the 
company in 1998 with several former astronauts and leaders in the aerospace 
and adventure travel industries. Since 2001, Space Adventures has sent seven 
commercial passengers on orbital spaceflight missions to the International 
Space Station on the Russian Soyuz spacecraft. Today, Anderson has a new 
project-planning the first commercial manned lunar mission. I recently 
talked to Anderson about the mission and some of the logistical hurdles in 
preparing for a trip to the moon.
