and to be in "space" and weightless for just a couple of minutes? Today's Virgin Galactic test flight lasted 1 hour and 5 minutes from start to finish.
I'd have to take a hard pass on that. I don't even like flying on a regular $500 flight that takes me somewhere that I LOVE for a week. Amazon founder Jeff Bezos will be on his own company's flight in like 2 weeks. Someone paid TWENTY EIGHT MILLION DOLLARS to join him. Some people just have more money than sense.
What about you? Do you want to go to space?

I think it would be a neat experience, but the short answer is no. I would not fork out that kind of money for the opportunity. I am with you on this one. For $200,000 I could do quite a lot more. Go on multiple vacations and have the time of my life. Buy a beautiful RV with all the creature comforts, mobility, and freedom I want.
I am spending about $5000 to go to Florida in the next month and I will have way more fun than a couple of minutes in outer space.

Thanks, but no thanks. I'm happy being grounded on Earth.

$200,000 would be reasonable for a week or so in an orbiting hotel...I have a lot of "experiments" I want to conduct in low gravity. But not for 40 or so seconds of weightlessness.

I wouldn't want to go into space for $1. Nope. Not going to happen.

I couldn't raise that kind of money right now, but if I had a couple of million in the bank I'd go for it. All my life I've wanted to go into space. It may only be a few minutes, but it'd be worth it.

No way could I go on one of those flights its hard enough to get on a normal flight.
Besides if I had that kind of money I would spend it on a house with a garden.
I love the earth very much.
