As an average Nigeria, that's almost impossible, unless u are wealthy. Like very wealthy.

the average American can also not afford space travel too. but with Elon Musk, that will become cheaper now.

is it not funny? A country like america who can build machines as super as SR-71 and F-35 can be relying on Russian rockets engine

That shows the fact that they perceive power only through military and espionage. Heck they budgeted more than a trillion dollars for the f35 alone while NASA's budget was slashed anyhow. The moon landing self was a jealous move against the USSR space domination.
