Nasa To Open International Space Station To Tourists

[naomi24]

//Nasa is to allow tourists to visit the International Space Station from 2020, priced at $35,000 (£27,500) per night.//

Assuming you could finance your trip, would you go?

Not for me, I'll leave t to the more adventurous.

I saw that thread but the title gave no indication of its content so it didn't grab my attention. Oh well....

[douglas9401]

I don't think your 35 grand includes flights but in any event no, I wouldn't go.
I like my creature comforts too much.

[Mamyalynne]

Understood, this is the new updated issue.

Would you go Naomi?

[rowanwitch]

If I was younger I'd go in a heartbeat.....

[naomi24]

I would love to go. What an experience!

[rowanwitch]

The chance to see the stars with no limits except my own vision

[naomi24]

And to see the earth from space.

I'm rather hoping one or two here might like to start a crowd-funding page for me. ;o)

[woofgang]

I read about this last week....answer is a hard no from me

[naomi24]

woofgang, would you be afraid to go - or are you simply not interested?

[agchristie]

//I'm rather hoping one or two here might like to start a crowd-funding page for me. //

Or else face a launch-pad of custard pies!! ;-)

I'd rather keep my feet on the ground...

[Patsy33]

It would be awesome, I'm sure, but I'd be too nervous...

[naomi24]

Patsy, I can't say I wouldn't be nervous - I would - very - but I would hope I'd overcome that.

[Tilly2]

Can I go when Major Tim Peake's on it?

[nailit]

I absolutely LOVE flying. That would be the ultimate flight...

[woofgang]

Not naomi, afraid but I am thinking its going to be a restrictive and uncomfortable experience.

[spathiphyllum]

Yes i would love to go. I think i may get minor travel sick. I'd also be bricking it because i'm not the biggest fan of flying, but a once in a lifetime experience it would be.

[Bazile]

Are you able to see the roundness / shape of the earth from the
ISS ? - if so then yes

Anyway don't you have to go through rigourous training to be able to go up there ?

[Old_Geezer]

No because I couldn't justify it even if I had the finance. But if you're paying, sure !

[naomi24]

Bazile, //Anyway don't you have to go through rigourous training to be able to go up there ? //

Compared to the training astronauts are given, I think the training would be relatively minimal for people who are only passengers.
