Countdown to space tourism

I talked with my father: 40 years ago space seemed just round the corner ... then things slowed down but our future is there.
Private entrapreneurs will bring people in space, not public agencies ...come on ..space is not far: only 1 hr out of your town, if your car could go upward :-))

sounds like the spins, just drink a lot and you're there.

I wouldn't mind paying 20k for a suborbital spaceflight... Equivelently (and based on SpaceAdventure's price), a trip to the moon in 2018 by private citizens would coust roughly 20milion US Dollars (based on the current worth of U.S. currency)

I work with this guy, and his plans are spot on, his data and graphs are on track, and this is only the begining

this guy is wasting his money, I hope hes planning further ahead than just sub-orbital flights..........the market is gonna move pas sub-orbital so fast its not even gonna be funny. theres gonna be hotels up there before too long. this guy's talkin about a few minutes of constrained weightlessness..........hope he's thinkin of being the low end of the market

Your right mate Im there but room to move or even longer time would be better

Still sounds cool
I can just tell ill be wanting more straight after though

He's right about the prices coming atronomically down after a few years. Especially when competition starts to heat up for your business. If you are fairly young, or more like in pretty good health, and you have a lot of money to spend (not neccessarily $10,000 a shot) then the chances of yourself being able to go to outerspace (into the Thermosphere, where the space shuttle hangs out) are greatly improved. Consider yourself extremely lucky. LOL

oh great. yet another reason to remortgage the house.

hang on this fella looks like are gay postman
