Default Would you pay $200,000...

I'm going to do it - seriously.


Bragging rights will be enormous for the first couple of years and
then it's just ho-hum. (anybody remember more than 2-3 names of the
many, many people who have walked on the moon?). Some people who go
initially will appear to do so just to prove they had the means to do
so. Yaaaaaawn.

I think the experience itself will be less fabulous than many people
imagine. IMO, this is an extremely high altitude airplane, and
certainly not the space shuttle.

The $200,000 aside----- I wouldn't go unless there is adequate leg
room and they serve something besides peanuts and pretzels for lunch.
If I had to pay $5 for a beer (and if the head is dripping with fecal
matter, urine, and disinfectant), I would be very unhappy indeed.

Wait, if you health permits. 2-3 years into this thing and you can
probably fly for $20k instead of $200k. But who would want to?
