    Eric Anderson's company has taken two wealthy tourists on $20-million trips to the International Space Station using Russian equipment and launch pad. Now he's preparing to offer hour-long, suborbital flights to the public for a mere $100,000. And he'd like to base the operations in Florida. Anderson is president and chief executive of Space Adventures, which has offices in Arlington, Va., Moscow and now near the Kennedy Space Center. He pitched his business -- and bold request for incentives -- to members of the state Commission on the Future of Space and Aeronautics at their meeting in Tampa last week.
