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?

They might throw u in a G force simulator but that's about it i thinks.

No. I'm not that interested.

I would love to go. The trouble is they’re not going to take you up for just one night. It could get ridiculously expensive.
If I had loads of money I’d definitely go for as long as it takes.

I'd have to give it cweus consideration if they were giving me $35,000 (£27,500) per night . . . plus traveling expenses.

We must make a promise (which ever one of us goes) to wave to each other.

If I ever get up there I’ll wave all the way.

I wouldn't be interested in connecting with the space station but I would love to fly up to the moon and back. I'm not sure I would want to go on the Boeing craft, given their latest productions - might want to give it a while

I'd love to do it, but age, infirmity and poverty stand in my way.

Looks like Bognor again this year, then.

I was in Knoxville TN USA a while ago but you could visit see astronauts training in real time at a NASA facility, it was a good visit. size of Saturn 5 rocket was amazing and the size of engines. best when we got back home with my american girlfriend and tasted some locally distilled moonshine.

the Smithsonian in Washington has several spacecraft, inclduding one of the earliest space capsules - slightly less computing power than a modern wristwatch, apparently.

jno yes first moon landing in 1969 would have state of art technology. As you say 50 years on there is more technology computing power in a watch or phone now.

Amazing what you can do with a few well placed logic gates and sensors. If only more people would apply a little more logic (and sense) in their daily lives we could all be flying much higher.
