Send something into space, for $99

A company in California says it can send an object of your choosing into space and back for $99, as early as 2008.

There are restrictions, of course. The cargo must fit into a canister the size of a soda can and weigh no more than 350 grams. It cannot be radioactive or explosive. And if it goes up alive, it must return alive (and well).

We'll launch anything, as long as it's legal," says Michael Mealling, of Masten Space Systems.
