NYTimes:
Boeing said on Wednesday that it was entering the space-tourism business, an announcement that could bolster the Obama administration’s efforts to transform the National Aeronautics and Space Administration into an agency that focuses less on building rockets and more on nurturing a commercial space industry.
Boeing, which is developing a capsule that it hopes will take NASA astronauts to the International Space Station, announced that it will offer for sale any seats that NASA does not need. The entrance of an aerospace giant like Boeing perhaps marks the transition of space tourism from a dreamy pursuit of start-up entrepreneurs to a mainstream aerospace market.
“We’re ready now to start talking to prospective customers,” said Eric C. Anderson, co-founder and chairman of Space Adventures, a Virginia-based space tourism company that would market the seats for Boeing.

Sweden
From Remodelista:
Innovative architects Bolle Tham and Martin Videgard of Stockholm firm Tham & Videgard devised the triangular Garden House in Viksberg, Sweden, to "blur the line between indoors and out, so that indoor and outdoor spaces gradually blend and interact." The house's trellis enclosure will eventually be covered with vines, providing shade and greenery; the interior also features a double-height indoor winter garden. Go to Tham & Videgard for more information.
