Who wants to go down in history as the first person to fark in space?

"They bought their tickets, they knew what they were getting into. I say, let 'em crash."

/Airplane, is there any situation where a quote from the movie won't apply?

Submitter's mom.

There's a space hotel going up as well - $1M/night.

These guys doing this.

Screw that. I want earth orbit or nothing. Actually, fark that, i want to land on the moon.

"Will Whitehorn said the Lossiemouth Royal Air Force base in Moray, in Scotland, is on track to be used as a base for the company's spacecraft from 2011."

Oh!! my mistake, I first saw "Will Wheaton" and was thinking what the fark...

Wow. So in about 15 years or so, it would cost roughly $1.3M USD to place myself in one of the most dangerous situations a human being could be in. And I could be in that situation for hours.

One blew left, one blew right.

Come on, I'm sure the Ruskies have before on their long stays in the Mir.

Be careful of the snakes.

Surely, you cant be serious!

Farker Soze beat me to it. I wasn't going to be nationality-specific, though...

BXRWXR: Hahahaha. You read those jokes in that thead too? I've been reading the wiki about space shudle disasters for 2 hours now..

Of course there was also the newlyweds that just happened to both be astronauts on the same shuttle mission.

From article: "Virgin Galactic, owned by billionaire British entrepreneur Richard Branson, will charge 110,000 pounds (209,600 dollars, 162,900 euros) a ticket to give passengers to experience weightlessness for five minutes."

Thats a rip off. You would have to work fast if you wanna join that 87 mile high club too.

lllfindsomething, i thought the same thing too.

Space hotel, bah... damn mints won't stay on the farking pillows...

I need to play Mega Millions. Screw buying a Ferrari, I want to go to space, goddamn it!

Despite that I really want the space industry to grow and take on new markets, Virgin's plans seem rather subpar to me. Their press releases are misleading. A ballistic flight to 87 miles is not a space flight! For a true spaceflight, you'd need to expend 25 times as much energy, using a rocket expotentially bigger in size. If people want to experience weightlessness, I would reccomend them to go fly the Vomit Comet for 1% of the price. Same exact thing. In the meantime, save up your money to pay the Russians for the genuine space experience.

The mints will stay on the pillows. It's called velcro, which was invented for the space program to solve exactly that type of problem. After all you need to keep your spoon from floating off, or your wrench, or yourself for that matter. Astronauts wear velcro bottomed shoes to hold them in place while working.

/the more you know.
//just one of the spin off products from NASA.
///only gov't project to ever produce more $ than it spent!
////just think what private enterprise will do in space!!!

Wow Id be the first doubletimer!

quick on the draw?

A friend of mine had dinner with Richard Branson a wee while ago, and apparently the cost covers first class flights and accomodation from anywhere in the world to get to the launch site and three friends can travel to the site with you however they will not get to go up obviously.

Still a bit pricey though!

Seriously though,

1) Come on, Mr. Branson, you know everyone in the world would love to fark in zero-g. Surely a billionaire deviant like you would put this in a business plan somewhere.

2) Why haven't we heard anything like this coming out of Russia? Why aren't they in the game?

"And then if they get stuck up there in zero G, you'll realize you should have listened to me"
