Not after the last time. The bus replacement service took forever to arrive.

Where's the virgin?

i would love to go into that space ship and fart when we got to the best bit just to ruin it for everyone except me.

Teyla Emmagan

Even if I had the money, I would not be arsed.

I wonder will the price come down over time (I mean, years and decades), or go up because of fuel?

I've always said the one thing I want to do before I die is go into space. I'm still below 30, so time is on my side for now...

I'll wait for the DVD...

Greece has an 'Accredited Space Agent' :rolleyes:

The first commercial flights were reserved for the monocle wearing gentlemen of their day so this should be no different.

Where To

I've always dreamed of being a space cadet

krudler

imagine if Ryanair did flights to space, they'd tell you the spaceport was on the moon and drop you off on Mars, nowhere near it.

Fook that, if I'm stumping up that much to go to space I'm bringing a slut!

I'm actually building a machine capable of Alcubierre drive at the mo so **** that ponce bastard Branson.

Logical Fallacy

200K for 5 minutes in space?

No thanks, i'll wait till RyanSpace gets up and running...which i assume will involve just firing people into space with a giant canon.

Don't forget to strap on that lead suit. I'm helping some Americans build a terrifying monstrosity of technology harnessing some poorly understood powers of time and space themselves myself.

Science!

On you go so...I'm sure he'd love to go.

Somebody give him a call and let him know he's got a free trip to space.

I would LOVE to do this if I had the money.

Maybe someday

If you crash the ship into the International Space Station you get 72 of them apparently.

If this was 6-7 years ago it would have been sold out. Fully booked by Irish carpenters, electricians and taxi drivers who camped outside Budget Travel for a week to get their spot.

It seems a very expensive roller-coaster ride, 15000 deposit for an aeroplane ride and 5 minutes in space, defo not worth it.

I've read somewhere that the average Irish wedding costs over €25,000.:D

And, as likely as not, you'll neither get to see space nor enjoy a virgin for that.:rolleyes::rolleyes:
