40,000 people have tentatively signed up for a ride into space at $200,000 a trip. 280,000,000 space port to be built in New Mexico. Whee! Now i've got a reason to work harder.

but i don't have $200,000

ps: did you see that huge helmet Rickard Branson had on? . i guess he has a large ego to protect (jk richard, feel the love)

Like everything else, I'd just wait for the price to come down.

It will sooner or later.

no chance in hell i would leave this planet... ESPECIALLY if i am to entrust my safety to Virgin. they can't even get mobile service right.

I would have to go if I could afford it. I would want to stay up there for longer than a few minutes though. Sub-orbital space tourism sounds neat but it only takes you up for a 15 or so minute ride. I would like to go for the orbital space tourism program that lets you go up for an entire day. 15 or so minutes is like a really cool roller coaster ride.

I voted yes. BUT, I have to qualify that statement with "if my income level meant that was nothing more than moderately expensive vacation".

Yes, but it must be into orbit. I'd take the trip with odds as low as a 90% chance of survival - so that's 5 times more dangerous than the existing shuttle.
