Who wants a personal space ship?
« on: September 29, 2004, 03:42:44 PM »
So, who is interested in commercial space flight? I know Throbblefoot is!

I'm not a big fan of leaving the old ball-of-mud myself, but some people are into the great black nothing:

I doubt I'll be jumping on SpaceShipOne anytime soon, but I'd be willing to fly Virgin Galactic. Of course the price tag is scary:  US$208,000 / Ã????169,000.

The Virgin Atlantic thing sucks, you only get 5 minutes of "semi weightlessness". Crap I say, crap.

Yeah: If I can't go to the space station or the moon, I'm not paying $200k!

You're sub-orbital! You're sub-orbital!!!

By the way, did you know that you age less quickly the farther away you are from a large gravitational body? Move to the mountains, you may live a couple extra weeks!

Sub-orbital flight could become a new non-surgical youth kick for celebrities and the filthy rich. "Add a few minutes to your life for a few hundred thousand dollars."

I think we are too optimistic.It will past at least 10 years when we will be able to launch big scaled space ships with "space turists".

I see Zen didn't learn his lesson about how posting this kind of shit to my topics will get him banned by me on GodSpire. Oh well, guess it's time for another lesson.
