I would love the opportunity to fly with Virgin Galactic, but sadly doubt that I could afford to do so unless I live in a box and don't eat for about 7 years. It wouldn't be for the thrill of the ride, or even to say that I'd done it. The chance to look down (?) on the Earth as a whole, to drink in the majesty of the planet we are slowly choking before we tip it over the edge is not something I could pass up - unless I could transfer my ticket to somebody with the political power and/or financial clout to do some good, but who hasn't grasped the fact that they need to. Especially if I could enlist some top people to write a visual guide to the Earth's woes as seen from orbit for the person in question...

Well i would into space but not with Virgin Galactic i would rather go with PlanetSpace here in Canada mostly because I'm Canadian and Canadians should support business opportunity's in our own country after all Virgin Galactic and PlanetSpace becoming competitors would be good for every one because I'm sure it would mean ticket prices would eventually go down on both sides, but if i did get a ticket for free from Virgin Galactic i would most likely sell it and buy a ticket from PlanetSpace but hey that's just me, people tell me I'm a little weird because i keep telling people i intend on building my own space rocket someday.

I'd go if it was free.
However, I would not be willing to pay. The craft only does a suborbital run, so it just (briefly) touches the edge of space.
For the kind of money Branson's asking, I would want to do at least ten full orbits of the earth.

I would love to go but sadly can't afford the thousands of pounds a ticket would cost. I would feel safe. It's probably more dangerous walking in a dodgy part of London.

Just like a new roller coaster, I would be nervous, but blissfully ignorant of the consequences should something go awry. I would have to say, "yes," just because of the bargain and the rare opportunity.

Yes please I would love to orbit the earth, it must be an amazing feeling that I can only dream off. I would guess the number of people wanting to orbit the earth would be massive compared to people not wanting to go!

ME! ME ME ME ME ME!!!! OOOhhhhhhhh, pick ME! Give ME that ticket! YES! If I had the money to spare, I would BUY a ticket. If the price comes down enough, I WILL buy a ticket.
