Yes indeed. A beautiful full-page magazine ad. It was in one of those... one of... um...
I'm sure all you pilots are familiar with this type of magazine. When you pull in at an FBO serving small jets, you know the kind of magazine that sits on the table in the lobby? The type of thing that could give us little piston drivers a harrowing few minutes of severe inferiority complex, until we shake our heads and wise up? The kind where one of the ads reads, I kid you not, "What to give someone who already has the Hope diamond"?
In this case it was Elite Traveler.
The space tourism ad, in the current issue, says something like: "We brought Gregory Olsen to the ISS. Now it's your turn." It gives an e-mail address. I think it was for someone in the Personal Spaceflight Federation. Goodness knows I didn't memorize it. Now I almost wish I'd snagged a copy of the magazine so I could keep that page.
I had no idea it would be worthwhile to do ads for such a thing. I half suspect the magazine put it in just to contribute to their ultra-moneyed image.
