Well, seems to be the era of space tourism officially has begun...

Expensive vacation it is.

Hivemind...I already posted about it here:

Weird News

But a dedicated thread is also good, imo, as it will draw more to discuss the issue.

I know it sounds expensive...but I'm actually surprised at how low the price range is in reality. I always thought Space holidays during my lifetime would be for Billionaires, but even a lowly Millionaire could afford a short holiday at those prices. I'd do it if I had more money than I knew what to do with for sure.

$11,250-$22,500!? That's bullshit!


Give me a call. I'll get you up there for half that!

I would've posted a pic of the astronaut farmer, myself.

I'm also quite surprised...

The fact that it's already that low makes me a bit hopeful that it could get low enough for us mortal beings in a decade or three.

Well, it is a good way to raise funds. Squeeze those rich fat ******** until their money is actually put to good use.

And it only costs an extra dollar to get insured for a two way trip,now that's cheap but it's hidden in clause 2A/ section 33/ paragraph 116/ line 1000867 at the very end in brackets just before line 1000868 on the back of the ticket but and there's always a but,but you need a microscope to read it and as long as you can read Varff language.

If I'd have the money, I'd go in a heartbeat.

That's suprisingly cheap

Cool. Although getting there is not gonna be cheap, you'd have to be in good health and undergo appropriate training.

I've never heard about the movie before ;)
