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.
