Will you be going into space ?

I would love to. Hope I live long enough to see the stars from above the atmosphere.

 

I will totally do it, once it become a little more refined and the bugs are worked out. I mean, how many people can say, "That reminds me of when I was in outer space, looking down... "

 

Oh, I thought that you were talking about that time 30 years ago when I, uh, well, ah, never mind.

 

Im sure I will be going in space, Just not this lifetime.

 

If I could,I would

Congrats, William - that's awsome!!!

Heard rumor that seat reservations are going for approx. $120k -- is that about right? At any rate, it's a whole lot cheaper than buying a ticket on the Soviet craft!

 

But the Soviet craft gets you into space for real, not just on a technicality

 

Wish i could afford it right now.

Hopefully during my lifetime space will become a bigger priority to society and the government.

 

I'd rather Branson and William Hubbell fund this privately, and not my tax dollars!

Next we'd hear about Affirmative Action programs to send ppl to space!

 

I think the private sector can do a better job of it than the government, I mean, thats a given in just about everything else.

It will happen and you, Nick, will have a better chance of going than I. Do NOT pass it up!.

Just make sure you are up there for at least one orbit and you have the opportunity to join the 110 mile high club

 

Sure why not? Several years growing up I wanted to be a fighter pilot, then move on to be an astronaut.

In 25 years time, it will be much cheaper, as well as safer (much how flying in jet airliners became rapidly cheaper and safer in the first 25 years of service, from the 1950's to the 1970's).

 

No matter the price-tag, and no matter how well or how poorly I do in life, I will find a way to cough up the cash to go into space at least once.

 

2% of astronaughts join NASA for the physical challenge. 3% joined to summount the mental challenge. But 95% joined for the chance to have sex in zero Gee!

 

Maybe I can go in my next lifetime, when tickets are cheaper.

No offense intended to anyone, but I think you would have to be truly nuts to want to pay big bucks for a ride in one of these unproven machines. But, that's how progress happens and if we make it through the next 100 years space flight in our local solar system will no doubt be commonplace for fun and profit.

I can't ever see interstellar Star Trek type travel happening. Just to crank one of those things up would take all the energy resources available on earth, and besides, it's impossible.

 

I'll take the motorcycle on a freeway for the duration of the space flight.

No doubt, it will all happen now that the private sector is getting aggressively involved. In 100 years solar system space travel could be nearly as routine as air travel now but there will be some significant accidents and lives lost along the way.
