would you do it if you had the money and do you think it will ever become popular enough so most can affort it?

If I was fabulously wealthy, I still don't think I'd pay $20 million for a trip to the International Space Station. Take a look at it. That thing is pretty small on the inside. However, I'd go for this:

At least the moon has "some" gravity ... which would come in handy when you had to take a crap. I imagine trying to take a crap in a Zero-G state would be a bit problematic ... especially if you had a diarrhea problem.

Nope. Too much of a chickenshit. I have no desire to be crammed into a sardine can with a thousand gallons of explosive fuel strapped to its underbelly. And then lit.

I wouldn't do it if it cost $20. Unless I was going some place with a breathable atmoshpere. I mean, you wouldn't be allowed to smoke anywhere for God's sakes!

What no smoking in space

I would have to smuggle a carton onboard just for the three day ride. I bet a smoke would burn fast in an Oxegn rich enviroment. One good drag and I would be smoking filter!


I would go for the adventure today, if someone else would foot the bill.

Definitely. One of my childhood dreams has been to go into space and see the Earth from orbit. I would probably start weeping, at the sight of our planet.
