United States :
Richard Branson has triggered a new space race with the launch of a high-altitude jet name White Knight Two ‘Eve’ in the US. The jet will be used for his project to launch tourists into space. The space travel will cost $200,000 (£100,000) per passenger and more than 250 people have already registered.

yes, for sure but only if i have that much money to spent...I can only imagine the feeling of leaving Earth, and being able to look back down upon it from outer space..... It must be a completely surreal experience.

Yet another life-altering feeling I will never experience... lol

@ Shelly ...the feeling of leaving Earth...
You can get this effect through meditation, too.

The future of space transport is great but it's worthless for reasonable-time manned travel without a huge power supply. it would be great if i can hang out for a week or so..

I'm serious about space travel...as soon as I get me a good paying job

I would never waste money on something so trivial when there are people struggling to survive. If I had money like that I would rather help others.

If it’s a free-of-cost offer or a prize-gift, I would definitely be the first aboard. Sorry, spending money on such a fancy as to fly 100 km above Earth, I have done it so many times on my Google Earth.
Bobette, help me. I wish to accompany you to the space, dear.

This has become a status symbol for the elitists. Those who have money to burn would waste them on such useless adventures. $200,000 can be used in many other ways even if it is for personal entertainment and recreation.

I have $200,000 to spend on myself. I have gone for casinos and highly expensive hunting, trekking and diving expeditions. If I get the chance I would like to see how it feels like to be in space. But the time period that one can spend in space for $200,000 is too less. Not good return for money.

No way! Only for free and after I have drunk a lot of of whiskey or tequila.

Never. First, m not stinking rich and second, m not stupid. yeah sure it would be a great feeling and all, but to spend that kind of money on something like this is not my thing. Id rather donate to people who are dying of starvation or students who want to study but are forced to drop out due to lack of funds. If everyone of us uses the money he has wisely, poverty problems may be solved. I dont think id spend so much for space travel, no thank you!

being the uncharitable moron that I am I’d jump at the chance.
That said I’d probably never get that kinda money. Also If I have that much money I’d only spend provided I have some more. So I guess spending is fully on cards only if it leaves me with some more to spend. That way maybe I’ll entertain thoughts of giving like good people on our right have.

O yeah! I’m game for it. And I may go a step ahead - I’ll bribe the crew and manage to have a stroll outside the jet too.
Right now, I’m off to Google search and find the names of all the high-paying lotteries. And yes, I may even want to photograph the Earth and compare it to the ones issued by NASA and all those space probing agencies. Who knows if they are showing us the real pictures??

Gee... seeing as how this is something I cant attempt on my own with a hired plane, I say why not!!! And the kinda money NASA spends on training astronauts and sending them up there every single time, I think its a damn cheap offer too!!!
As for whether it is worth that kinda money, well, is a Gucci bag worth what we would spend on it, is a meal at a great restaurant worth the overpriced goodies, and of all the things, is it worth it to fly halfway across the world to spend a day at Disneyland with your kids????
Its all relative innit???
