I for one would love to try it but @ 100k for whats been offered i dont think so......

I think Tony, you have got a catch-22 here.

Nearly everyone with a love of all things space-related and travel would jump at the chance to fly into space. Realistically, the price tag only applies to those who have that interest AND can afford the money, which I bet is a serious minority.

Seanie.

I presume it would be on a "per Kilo" basis, which would mean having to lose some weight present technology suggests that it is probably the most dangerous mode of transport - safer maybe in 20 years?

I think 100K is expensive relative to most folk. I would love to go, but i think only possible as ashes.

I'd happily go but I'm a bit short for that kind of cash... anyone want to buy kidney? I don't drink BTW

Ye i tend to think its a bit over priced for whats been offered...the russians would bring you up for cheaper in a "MIG"...same deal costs around 20k

Thinking about it, it's really only the price of selling about 5 good large websites, and having worked on 2 of these in the past (ie having over 100,000 forum members each after a couple of years) and really putting no effort whatsoever into it, the 100K doesn't feel really far off. Or 100 crap websites. That would be easy. I sold one with just 500 or so members for £1000. I really reckon it would be more popular than people think. I'd love to do it.
