What are your guys' thoughts on this?

I could never afford that.

If I had about 500k-1mil in the bank, I'd do this in a heartbeat.F1_2004

Totally agree. Heck, if I only had 300k I'd probably still do it.

One objective in my bucket list invole having sex in space. :oops:

Even if I had the money to afford, I'd wait till they actually tested it in space..

I'll do it in 20 years or so when the price gets reduced. That's just too much for any regular person to afford =/.

With that amount of money, I can buy a trip around the world lasting for years.

So let's see...$200,000 for what probably amounts to a few hours max in low orbit around the earth while having to stay strapped down in a seat inside unproven technology that could very well go disasterously wrong :|

WHERE DO I SIGN UP?! :D

Alright, I just found out where to sign up. Hopefully they'll contact me soon.

BTW, to anyone who got the reference, I love you.

It's actually just 5 minutes. Even if I had the money, I would never spend 200K for 5 minutes.

eh. I would rather travel most of the world for that much money.
