  • I'd prefer to stay on our green planet...

  • That engine looks like its burning shit. No wonder one blew up.

  • I would definitely be scared as hell doing this travel, but I would do it anyway. I've always wanted to see the Universe from a point of view other than that from the Earth. Now I'd get to see the Earth. It's definitely something that scares the shit out of me, but I'd do it without hesitation if the occasion was presented.

  • @PesiCool Yet the Earth is big to us, but in comparison to, say, Jupiter, and the Sun, and the whole Milky Way galaxy, and the entire Universe, it's... even less important than insignificant.

  • > Earth Orbit via Virgin Media- $200 thousand

    > Day at International Space Station via Space Adventures- $20 million

    > Moon orbit via Space Adventures- $100 million

    All of this is reality.

  • :( don't remind me how shitty my country is please

  • America's not paying for it; Virgin Group is financing the venture and they are based in the UK.

    America is broke because it spends $720 Million EACH DAY on the Iraq War.

  • What happened was that he went up, had a great time, and came back. His name is Richard Garriott. Google it.

  • Two hundred thousand bucks.  Twenty million and more is for orbital, on the International Space Station. You launch from the Russian facility.

  • You will die right here on Earth if you don't have enough oxygen/food/water.
