If you had a spare $200K would you purchase a seat on the Virgin Galactic flight?

Answer 1

of course I would.

wouldn't miss it for the world.

Did you know that they train you for 3 days before your flight too.

They say its a "sensory overload" and if you don't know how to handle it you'll miss out on "enjoying" your flight

I'll take the spaceshiptwo to the Galactic Suites and stay 3 night3. = 4$ Million

and you train for EIGHT weeks this time

Answer 2

I suppose if I had that kind of money to throw away I would take the trip on the Virgin Galactic flight but I would prefer to go into orbit or to the Moon to get a really good look at the Earth from space. The virgin flight would take a passenger to slightly above 100 km up and allow 6 minutes of weightlessness. Suborbital flights like these took place in the first two flights of the US Mercury program back in 1962 so this is hardly progress considering men have since walked on the Moon. The ISS orbits 1 1/2 times higher than that at 250 miles.
Bigelow Aerospace is planning an inflatable orbital habitat and expects to start taking paying customers for trips to low Earth orbit in the next decade. Their long term goal is for an actual space hotel.

Answer 3

At 12 you at the instant are not allowed on a internet site like this one. and you at the instant are not permitted on Virgin Galactic the two. that's in simple terms besides as seventy 5,000 pounds is nowhere close to adequate for a flight

Answer 4

No. I'd use it to support orphans in Africa or refugees from Afghanistan or something. It's a darn lot of money to be spending on a stupid view. I wouldn't waste it---that's almost twice as much as my house cost! (Back when we bought it)

Seriously, there's so many better things to do with that much money. But if I'd felt like I'd done my part as a human/the world was more peaceful and less in need then yes, I would if I couldn't think of another way to spend it.

It would be the chance of a lifetime but we first have to be responsible for our own race, and not just cater to this pathetic me-first attitude most of the modern world seems to have developed.

Answer 5

I wish I had the spare cash.

Hey! If everyone on Yahoo Answers gave me a dollar that went straight to an account to pay for my seat, then you would all be a part of my experience! Set up an account for the purpose, and donate the seat to me! I'll put up a special web site to share my experiences with all of you...

;)

Answer 6

Of course! I also saw on the History Channel that they will also start taking trips to the moon; one trip will only set you back $100,000,000.00 <--That's A LOT of zeros... I don't know if they'll actually land and step out or just stay in orbit. It would undoubtedly, though, be the trip of a lifetime...

Answer 7

How long will it be before the entire hotel is launched into orbit.Something like the Zeppelin.

Answer 8

yeah sure, why not only if i thought it was pocket change though, if it meant missing my next home repaymnet i might wait til they are on sale... lol

what would i most like to see- the change from day to night on the earth surface from above.

Answer 9

no I would pay off my mortgage, hubby's motorcycle, my car and then if there is any left over go shopping. LOL

Answer 10

absolutely, I love everything about astronomy...that would be amazing, and a once in a lifetime opportunity
