Space travel is soon going to become very trivial for some.  It would appear that they are just going to shoot people into space.

According to 99x this morning.  You will get to experience 6 minutes of weightlessness and plummet back down to earth. This can all be yours for $200,000.00 American.  The cost is approximate from what 99x talked about this morning.

Taken from Space-Travel.com:

The Starchaser Astronaut programme features centrifuge, microgravity and skydive training together with high altitude decompression and hypobaric work. Starchaser astronauts will also receive their own personal spacesuit which they may keep as a memento of their experience.

This sounds like a good deal.  I mean, I would never pay for someone to strap me into a rocket, shoot me into space.  The airlines can’t keep planes in the air 100% of the time.  What would make someone think that Being shot into space would be safe.

Well I take that back, just the part about me not paying.  I couldn’t afford it.  If I could, I would be there in a heart beat.  the rush alone would be worth the 200k.

Maybe in 2050 space will be a normal vacation spot.  But if we keep removing weight from this planet we will be in trouble.  I know I know we don’t remove enough to make a dent in the weight of it.  The earth has been spinning for way before we got here though.  It is a balance…

Is space travel for you?  Well it could be if you have the pocket change laying around.

I just waned to share some picture that I have taken with my camera phone. I thought that I would never buy into the deal. I have found that I enjoy just taking random shots with it. So will have to put some more up later on after these. With out further delay here they are.

i hope that you have enjoyed these images.  They were taken with a Motorola Razr v3t(v3i) from T-Mobile.  I have found it best not to use the zoom on the camera but wait until you can edit on the computer to resize it.  Other wise you have a smaller picture than what you really wanted.  The zoom is more of an auto crop than a zoom.

Well I have posted a a page about my RX-7.  I’m really just looking for a helping hand in getting the car fixed up.  You can find the page here.

This Saturday I will be taking the rear axle off of the car to be replaced on Sunday.  I’m hoping that all goes well and that I will have it back on the road.  I do have to drive about 4 hours round trip to pick up the rear axle that I’m replacing it with.  Also, Seth (the person with the rear end that I’m buying) has the front part of my car that got crushed when someone backed into me.

I’m hoping that this is the start of getting this car really fixed up.  I have thought about a few things that I would like to do with it.  One being a paint job.  I have thought about Gun metal gray.  Maybe even making it kinda look kinda like one of the electron mouse clones at the top of the page.

I wonder if “Pimp My Ride” would be interested in doing the job.  Maybe if i can’t get enough support from fellow readers then i will try them out, but I’m sure that will be a hard sell.  I’m sure “Pimp My Ride” doesn’t have a lot of time to worry about a RX-7 owner.  Even though I would enjoy doing the work myself, I just don’t have the knowledge to do a great job.

I will also be posting pictures of the job at hand and some of the things that i have learned in the process.  I have never done anything like this before.
This being my first post of 2007, HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!
