Roj47 Posted January 17, 2006 #1 Share Posted January 17, 2006 This is pretty closely linked to a thread started by another user, so apologies there for any overlap. I will try and avoid this. Come 2010 it appears that certain organisations are hoping to have Space travel as a commercial oppotunity with prices currently being quoted at £110k (about $170k USD). I would love to travel to Space (whether you actually enter what is deemed space is argueable to me though), but I have 3 questions for you - 1. What would the maximum amount you would pay to take such a trip? Whether by todays prices £50k for 5 days or £20k per day etc... 2. What would you expect to see or experience on such a trip? 3. Do you expect you will take this trip at some point in your life? From myself - 1. By todays money (as efficiency should cause the relative expense to drop) the most I would pay for such a trip is £15k ($23k USD) although I would probably wait until it became cheaper. I do not take into account there would probably be a waiting list. 2. I would be dissapointed not to see the moon, sun rise over earth and experience weightlessness. Whether these are feasible,..... I dont know. 3. simple enough.... Yes PS. This is not for market research purposes, but feel free to send money to me for such a trip lol.

Roj47 Posted January 18, 2006 Author #6 Share Posted January 18, 2006 Why not just tape your butt shut and get abducted by aliens,last time I heard thats for free. Quality! I had planned on carrying a Welcome board on the top of a skyscraper in the hope of being noticed and abducted. Sounding like Southpark when Cartmen gets an anal probe There are a few things I would like to do before I die..... Being abducted by aliens is not one of them. I will remember to wave when I am hurtling and stupid miles an hour into the ground on the return in 2038 (coz nothing will have been wiped out as the doomsday people predict).
