Virgin Galactic envisions a future where space voyages will become as common as airplane travel. It wants to fly 500 people into space in the first year for $200,000 a head. If it succeeds, that would be on par with the same number of people who have gone up in 45 years of space travel.

$20K?

The article says $200K.

Did I miss something?

I'd pay $2k to go into a full orbit. hope that happens sooner rather than later.

I've been to North Eastern Colorado. If it's anything like that, then no thanks. I thought space was the middle of nowhere but no, no, it's NE Colorado.

I'd do it only if Carl Sagen came with me and narrated the whole time.

When the first flight gets lost in space and douche celebrities and Lance Bass are lost to the world, I'll totally say "I told you so".

[Dr. Naysay]

Yea... it would all depend on how much money I had in general.

If I could afford it without changing my standard of living I totally would.
