    Fascinating. If I had a couple of million $$$ to spare, I'd sign up for a ticket. Somehow, I don't think there will any poor folks going. :D

    I’m not sure if this 78 year old body wants to deal with it. I’ll pass.

    Which raises an interesting point. I wonder if there are any minimum health standards to get on board. And I wonder how much it might cost to buy your way around them.

    I'd be happy with a ride on the "Vomit Comet"; I just want to feel weightlessness. Unfortunately, that costs about $50,000, which is a little steep for a thrill ride, even the ultimate thrill ride......

    If I had the bucks, sure, I’d love to go up for a few orbits.

    I'll pass, even if it's free. I have no desire to get any higher than my trees, and one of them may be too high.

    I will stick to my motorcycle and be happy with its earthbound sensory pleasures.

    Ride a rocket into space? Heck no. I don't even like being this tall.
