250k a ticket via Virgin Galatic. Would be very interesting to see the world from that view. Almost surreal.

However the real interesting part would be in they can make a plane to fly around to any point in the world in hours. NYC to Australia in 3 hours!

Knappo 1307 · 1 July 2020, 02:58 AM

I just left the dispensary, I'll be in space in about a half hour.

Would love to go to space and see our planet from orbit, but I'm too poor to buy a ticket

I am interested once the program is normalized, proven safe and the cost per flight is lower.

Like any new high-tech product/service the first to have/use them pay the price for R&D and to help recoupe the costs of going to market.

View from space

Burlington · 1 July 2020, 06:06 AM

Definitely interested for the future once it’s been operational for a while and our boy is bigger to come along.

Jona · 1 July 2020, 06:12 AM

Not for me. I'd get vertigo and hurl all over the place.

JohnnyM · 1 July 2020, 06:24 AM

I'd definitely do it if I had the disposable income. I'd much rather spend the 250k on this than a crazy watch. What an experience that would be!

GB-man · 1 July 2020, 06:33 AM

They’d have to pay me 250k lol

sgwatchguy · 1 July 2020, 09:24 AM

Went in early on the stock. Now if that ‘rockets’ and makes me money, I’ll pay some back for a ticket.

THC · 1 July 2020, 09:50 AM

A space ride or 5 PM Rolexes... hmmmmm lemme think

I can see the future threads... which watch should I take into space? Could make for some interesting wrist shots. I wonder if duty-free will apply when leaving Earth?

BigBlue1 · 1 July 2020, 12:44 PM

I heard they will be handing out complementary Ltd Ed Space Dwellers to the first 100 flyers.

Etschell · 1 July 2020, 12:58 PM

Not yet. I will let others be the Guinea pigs.

MrEleven · 1 July 2020, 06:43 PM

I hate flying so its a hard pass for me. Is it actually going into space or just very high up but still in our, not sure the term to use but still in earth ?

Space is about 60 miles up - so if you could drive ‘up’ in a car it’s only about 1 hour away which is an interesting concept in its own right.

I believe Virgins plan is to go past that point.

In any event there would be weightlessness, which is probably one of the key things expected when entering space by passengers.

This can also be achieved within the atmosphere by flying in an arc. A bit like going weightless in the seat of a rollercoaster. But that is for less than a minute at a time.

Rock · 1 July 2020, 07:53 PM

I feel the same way about a trip to "space" as I do about a trip O/S. Not interested.

Dyim · 1 July 2020, 09:53 PM

250k with unknown safety record.......

Not sure if I want to make history.

AzPaul · 1 July 2020, 10:26 PM

If I allowed myself to think of all the good I could be doing for others with that money, it would be hard to justify the expense, let alone enjoy the view. That's a lot of coin just to be able to say, 'Hey everyone, look what I did'.

Ny325 · 2 July 2020, 05:45 AM

I’ll pass.

Letsgodiving · 2 July 2020, 07:15 AM

If you are looking for a bargain space flight here's an alternative for only $125k. Hydrogen balloon. What could go wrong?

I remember almost 25 years ago, some dude came to my dad's store in Galveston and asked to put a poster up.
Poster was advertising a launch into outer space out of or near Galveston.
Of course nothing came of it but this def. brought back memories lol.

Boothroyd · 2 July 2020, 10:28 AM

A new cologne is coming out, based on a formula NASA uses to acclimate astronauts to the SMELL of space. Yes, it seems that once you open and close the airlock, space has a distinctive smell. Described as a combination of sizzling steak, rum and raspberries. Metallic in character. Worth knowing about if you are taking the trip.

With both of you. I find that I’m quite skeptical of paying $0.25m to have elevated anxiety levels for an extended period of time...
