toast Posted June 17, 2018 #3 Share Posted June 17, 2018 If I would win exact 55M in the lottery, I would spend it for the trip. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that it would be a fantastic adventure but that amount of cash could fund a LOT of terrestrial adventures It makes me wonder why people like Musk, Gates, and Branson - especially Branson - don't pony up the cash and take the trip. For 55 million, a person should get to stay for an entire crew cycle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Branson has his own space trip/space hotel projects and if I remember correctly he stated to join such trip when ready. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will fly on the first commercial spaceflight of the SpaceShipTwo, maybe later this year. 20 hours ago, and then said: It makes me wonder why people like Musk, Gates, and Branson - especially Branson - don't pony up the cash and take the trip. Branson has already been addressed. As for Musk, why would he pay someone $55 million to fly to the space station when NASA are paying him to fly their astronauts there? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
