If you have the money, you are healthy enough to do it, why not?

It's the first step to the stars - revel in it.

I'm going to do it - I'm telling you, I'm going to go.

I'm with you and behind the concept 100%. "IF" I had the extra funds
around, I'd do it in a second.

I have a nephew who is an mechanic at NASA, working hands-on with the
shuttles in the programm. I've been buggin him ever since he started to
see about getting me invited for a ride. Realistically I know it will
never happen, but I can dream can't I?

ROTFL!!!

I have a son who is a fighter jock and I never asked him for a ride.
On my 50th birthday, he shows up at the door, escorts me out, we get
in a plane, fly down to Cherry Point MAS and I get a ride in a F-18.

Had a blast. :)

I figure if I could handle that ride - which was pretty wild - I can
handle a sub-orbital flight with no problems. :)

I want to register a compliant.

My uncle was on the acquisition team for the F/A-18 for the Marine Corps
and commanded the first group of F/A-18's for the Marine Corps. Prick
never gave me a ride in an F/A-18.

Why would he want his fellow employees to meet the black sheep of the
family.
He did have his honour to protect.

I have an uncle like that. He wasn't a fighter jock or anything near the
sort... just a prick.
