Actually, you could always take a ride on the Vomit Comet, the air force jet that travels to the edge of the Earth's atmosphere and then takes a fast descent to simulate zero gravity.
There are also Aerospace planes in the early phases that will probably be in use in about 20 years or so. They wont have a cosmic destination, but some companies are interested in taking people into low earth orbit for a very high fee.
Actually, for $200,000.00 you may be able to go next year, at least according to Richard Branson.
