- angusm, on 06/11/2008, -0/+31Alternatively, for just $250,000, I will lock you in a large steel can for a week, with nothing but a chamber pot and a week's supply of applesauce in squeezy plastic tubes. To reproduce the feeling of weightlessness, you will be attached to the ceiling by bungee cords, while a screensaver program on your laptop displays images of Earth seen from space. At the end of the week, you will be taken up in a specially-outfitted Tupolev and dropped on Kazakhstan from a great height to simulate "ballistic re-entry".
If you need still more authenticity, we can arrange for you to share your quarters with two burly Russians who have only thirty words of English between them. There are no washing facilities, but everyone "aboard" will receive two moist towelettes each day for their personal use.
P.S. The chamber pot is nailed to the ceiling; we leave it up to you to figure out how to make use of it. - digitalmoto, on 06/11/2008, -0/+22Think I will wait til at least 2020 and let them work the kinks out.
- DermDoc, on 06/11/2008, -0/+12Awesome. I'm on the phone with them right now trying to book a one way for my MIL. $10 mil well spent.
- akaoldschool, on 06/11/2008, -0/+11oh shoot... I am a few million short. Of course, I don't know if the wife would approve me spending that much on one purchase :-)
- jquipp, on 06/11/2008, -0/+10Awesome ... sign me up. Maybe Sergey Brin will renegotiate with the Russians now
- wisam74us, on 06/12/2008, -0/+9If Google co-founder Sergey Brin will go to the space, most likely MSN will pay the Space Station to keep him there forever
- Genetico, on 06/12/2008, -1/+9For that kinda price I better be allowed to smoke a bowl while I'm up there.
- jggube, on 06/11/2008, -0/+6who wants go halfsies with me?
- chaoswings, on 06/12/2008, -0/+6Since when have wives ever stopped men from blowing large amounts of cash? Then again I'm still wondering how a girl can spend $1000 in a month on shoes...They have no right to criticize us!
- CalgaryFreedom, on 06/11/2008, -0/+5Make sure to call your insurance agent before booking! Recreational space travel is sure to affect your life insurance premiums... :)
- dafragsta, on 06/12/2008, -0/+3Where is the free market these days? If you can load 8 people up and haul them up into space for a few days, you can rake in $80M, and that's by getting the prices down to half that of current space toursim prices. I can't believe people besides Richard Branson aren't taking this seriously. There is no shortage of demand to go into space.
- Bluetar, on 06/11/2008, -0/+3Oh yeah I've been waiting for this, but with the price of fuel I don't think I'll ever be able to afford it.
- pleeker, on 06/11/2008, -0/+3Finally, something that makes airfare look cheap. I'm with digitalmoto - no interest in being a pioneer on this idea.
- mindracer, on 06/12/2008, -0/+3dugg for the via rail advertisement pictured, story about space vacations with a pic featuring an ad for one of the oldest way of travelling for a vacation.. canada's train (via rail)
- TheSabre, on 06/12/2008, -1/+4I can lend you the money. Some Nigerian prince was nice enough to send me $25 million. Well, he hasn't sent it yet, but I gave him my bank account number so he can deposit it! Space: here I come!
- russ3, on 06/12/2008, -0/+3You killed my dream of space travel :(
- JSager, on 06/12/2008, -0/+1I just want to know if I can bring more than three ounces of mouthwash.
- SaladCactusKing, on 06/12/2008, -0/+1Maybe once Richard Garriot goes to space he can make scifi games better than Tabula Rasa. What a ***** disappointment.
- dafragsta, on 06/12/2008, -0/+1People jump out of perfectly good airplanes all the time, only to have their chute not deploy. Risk of death is mitigated by a desire to do what hasn't been done by many people. Oh yeah, and it's really cool. I'd risk dying going into space before I'd skydive.
- rz8472, on 06/12/2008, -0/+1I think we'll still be consigned to sending trinkets up into space for $300 each and watching it through a webcam for quite a while
- angusm, on 06/12/2008, -1/+2My work here is done. :-)
- Mootabolife, on 06/12/2008, -0/+1She approved the ring didn't she.. =D
- KingGorilla, on 06/12/2008, -0/+1Can the roaming gnome find me a cheaper price
- paradox4190, on 06/12/2008, -0/+1Damn. Not on travelocity yet.
- DimensionalPunk, on 06/12/2008, -0/+1I bet this annoys the hell out of the astronauts.
- yaddayaddayoda, on 06/12/2008, -0/+1I understand that you can book a Russian Soyuz slingshot around the Moon for $100M.
- Haoie, on 06/12/2008, -0/+1Well, there's only 1 viable answer to this problem.
Take her with you. - cliffzdude, on 06/12/2008, -0/+1You pay the "speak to a live person" $5 booking fee? You need to learn to book space-vacations online.
- Kristijan12, on 06/12/2008, -0/+1I`ll just wait till 2030-2040 for prices to go down, or else I can go to see the stars and than return to sleep under the same, on the street.
- Alex2, on 06/12/2008, -0/+1If I had 60 million dollars, I'd do two chicks at once.... IN SPACE!
Cause with 60 million dollars, I'm sure I could find chicks who are into that sort of thing. - JQP123, on 06/12/2008, -1/+1NASA spent well over $100 billion of tax payer's money to create a floating hotel for rich tourists? What a joke.
- russ3, on 06/12/2008, -1/+1OMGOMGOMG i could have sex in space!! Now I'm interested in space tourism!!
- abigail8884, on 10/15/2008, -0/+0You heard it right ... book now! Previous flights have only cost $20 million and could only take one person... maybe with 2 or more people it will drop by more than half. Its beginning!
Inclusive Vacations of the preceding flights are much more reasonable than this.
http://www.allinclusivevacations123.com - technogreen, on 06/12/2008, -1/+1I think my savings is enough to buy me way ticket to the space, that is why I need to wait for another flight
- megagram, on 06/12/2008, -2/+2Lovin' the train ad that Digg chose to use as the pic for a space tourism article.
- KJSatz, on 06/12/2008, -2/+1Fear of death substantially alters the demand curve...not in a way conducive to the free market and its solutions to space travel.
- CrazyCanuck17, on 06/11/2008, -3/+0ahah halfsies.. you're classic! Maybe if I start saving up now I can get a flight by like 2040. Not bad eh?
