"During the flight you will fly to the altitude of 21-22 km"

and some might say that the virgingalatic is not space

a suborbital flight is pointless IMO

And the 5 minutes of weightlessness you get from Virgin Atlantic is ?

Just a matter of degree where you draw the line between sub orbital parabolic flights

100KM is where space begins by most peoples standards, 22km is twice as high as a plane afaik not space.

Still cool though and a lot cheaper.

Orbital flight is a bit off for most people in fairness.

Also boards.ie has a lifehacking forum!?!

Would love to mess around with a Mig. Probably ending up hitting the eject button at suborbital height.

That's the problem with sub orbital , return tickets are much cheaper than singles

AFAIK it's about €30 million for a single

For me 'space' is when you can see the whole of the earth in one window.

In that case humans haven't been in space since 1972

It's important to shop around in these recessionary times.

I reckon we should have a national fundraiser just to get Karl Pilkington a seat on that flight.
