Remember watching James May in I think a U2 getting up there and thinking how amazing would that be 😉

If I had a [b]lot[/b] of money it would be on my list. Not at the top of my list though.

Yse, but I would rather do it like May did, rather than in a bus.

Yeah but how much money would you have to have to think that it was a luxury worth paying for? Many of us could afford it but our lives would be impacted to a greater degree than is perhaps sensible.

Call me a cynic, but the publicity value of endlessly claiming they're just about to do this is considerable. 😉

And isn't Bransen the chap who came up with a prize for anyone who could find a way of reducing carbon footprints? Firing rich people into space isn't going to do it for sure.

Unless they stay up there. I wonder if it's like a VIP B Ark.....

Funny, I saw that on BBC breakfast this morning. They showed a computer demo of the trip. Looks rubbish. Like a long coach trip but with more boring scenery.

It was followed by a story about the global warming summit.

Wasn't there a competition with a $10M prize to get something into space and back (intact obviously), the winning team was from america and spent $20M...

I'd do it if I was rich.

I'd go to Mars if I had a 90% change of surviving the trip there and back.
