With a set payment of $200,000, and a minimum refundable deposit of $20,000 you can now make your reservations to experience the ultimate adventure.

Thats what it says on there site... Dunno if its been posted.. but if you ask me its a waste of money, id prefer to donate it to a charity where your definatley safe ;-) x

Si in that case you might aswell not walk out your door, nothing is safe It's just life without a risk whats the point?

And i packed my bags because a holiday like this isnt one to get all cranky about. its space, ya know up there, not some crap place like france were they all eat frogs or estonia were they live in mud...

Correction; 3 days of training, flight attached to mothership, release from mothership, orbit around at 180,000 for 5 minutes, back into atmosphere.

I know this from one of my magazines.

i personally hope you die ¬_¬

;o This threads lasted a while :P Anybody planning on going?

I doubt your parents have $200 000 lying around to send you into space for a few minutes.

Also, Virgin is PLANNING to send people into space by 2009 and if they can't, they keep your $20 000
