Default Russia offers space honeymoon

As a government agency, NASA is forbidden from competing with private
enterprise.


True, but even if you somehow worked things so that USA were providing
the service (with due arrangements for use of government facilities
etc etc etc), you'd have the same problem. Shuttle would be too
expensive to offer rides at $20 million a pop.
