They're making a private space shuttle company to take people to space for 2.5 hours and then coming back.... i'd LOVE to do this but tickets are like 200,000 dollars :(

You only go just barely outside of earth's atmosphere, and you come right back. I mean, you go like a few thousand feet into space. That's not worth $200,000.

It's another step closer to faster global travel, though, ain't it? Set up spaceports everywhere, send the vehicle up into the fringes of the earth's atmosphere, whizz it along at a few thousand miles an hour, and come down and land in another spaceport.

Pending how long it takes to reach outside the atmosphere, and how long it takes it land.. it says the trip is 2.5 hours long, so you're up there for atleast 45 minutes I'd say... it also says they let you unbuckle and float for a bit... so you oculdn't just go straight up and dive back down

I think it would be quite the experience...
Soon you'll be able to win "space trips" from radio stations...like concert tickets and such.

I wouldn't want a trip to space.

Why not?
You're not going to live forever....

DARPA is already working on something close to this rapid-insertion capability. Basically you go up into subspace where there is less air and a slight orbit so speeds can be much higher with less fuel and then you go back down cutting a 9 hour trip into like an hour.

If Marijuana becomes legal by the time I make that much money, I want to smoke in outer-space.

[WetWired]

Isn't outer-space "international waters", so to speak, anyway? You just need a space-line that allows it.

I would pay for it. It would be the best ride i would ever get on. Plus, floating around in space would be the coolest. Ill do it one day, ull see.

Dunno, just doesn't appeal to me.
