Space Tourists
Travel costs will still be pretty gigantic even in like 20-30 years from now..

Slingatron
The link doesn't work. But I feel unwell just thinking about accelerating in a spiral to escape velocity..

When do you think travel companies will take us to the moon?
[quote]Oh, that's already out there! For $100 Million, Space adventures will send you to the moon: [/quote]
I will gladly promise to do that for half of that price--cash up-front! :D.

ENOUGH OF THE TALK: MAN NEVER WENT TO THE MOON!!!
The latest from NASA.
NASA Spacecraft Images Offer Sharper Views of Apollo Landing Sites
[url]http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/LRO/news/apollo-sites.html[/url]
The real issue with people who do not believe that astronauts landed on the moon comes down to a lack of understanding of the physics involved when you are operating in a near vacuum at 1/6 the gravity found on Earth.
A flag will appear to waive in a vacuum due to inertia and the lack of atmosphere to dampen the momentum. The flag in the videos did not waive on its own due to wind. It appears to waive only immediately after the astronauts planted it because there was nothing to stop the momentum except the weak 1/6 gravity.
The surface of the moon is very light colored and without an atmosphere to diffuse the light radiation from the sun, the brightness and reflectivity of the surface caused the "anomalies" claimed by the conspiracy theorists.

Zero gravity for $3,750 plus tax
Does anyone know if these flights are still offered?
I have heard that this flight is called the Upchuck Express. That moniker seems to fit the experience for some people..

Aliens
You only have to look at Andrew Lloyd Webber or Joan Rivers to know that alien life exists..

To space... would you?
[quote]so many places, so little time[/quote]
Before joining this forum I never realised there are so many! :lol:.

is space travel real?
Space travel is real for sure.
-
The aliens are already here!
[quote]Nah! I dont think they exist![/quote]
No space aliens Chibby? Then who exactly is piloting the flying saucers??? :lol:.

Space elevator: is this the start of cheap space tourism?
I'm not sure why people are even considering space elevators.
[quote]essentially a big cable that gets held in space[/quote]
I mean really? Why don't you guys just use the Overthruster? I understand that traveling through the 8th dimension can be dangerous with everyone there called John, but quit being such pansies..

UFO?
Um ....this is embarassing. That was me. Thought China would be the last place I'd make the evening news with all the Goverment control over their media.
Next time I'm low on fuel I'm setting down in New Mexico!!!
That sounds like a safe place.
Oh and the ultimate answere to "Nothing" is (drum roll please) "SOMETHING"
ty ty all very much. I'll be here all week. Try the veal.
:lol:.

Impossible
I love the words never and impossible. I totally believe the impossible will never happen. I also believe people assign those words to the wrong staments. "Mankind will never send a man to the moon for a cost of $1"-Not true. "Mankind will never send a man to the moon for a cost of $1 within the next five minutes"-Okay that's probably very true. People tend to look at circumstances based only on present data (not suprising). A better tool for judging the future is not what we can do now but what we want. Imagine in 1880 someone saying we can travel at speeds over 50 mph to get to our destinations across land and someone saying "We will never get horses to move that fast!"
Remember it's never the "how" it's always the "why".
Someone right now, out there someplace is working on an idea that will make the dreams of today tomorrows reality.

Is Space Travel Something You Would Do?
I don't think I'd ever pay for a three minute weightless experiance (maybe I'd go if it was free) and I really don't want the 24 hour a day zero-g experiance. I would like a simulated gravity (the whole spinning wheel thingy-hope that's not too technical) with pods close to the hub for weightless games and long term experiments.
I imagine it would be nice if spending months working on your zero-g nanite assembley process if you could come "home" after work take a shower, eat recognizable food off a plate and sleep in a real bed. Even if only at 75% simgrav.
BTW The Earth to Orbit cost will be $100,000 perperson..

Space hotel
[quote:3858ec9a90="BobinOz"]Three things before I go a step further in making my reservation. One, what type of credit card can I use in outer space?
Two, Can I bring along my pet frog?
And three, I'm very much sure that there's still enough sands in Vegas before anybody would plan to put up a Space Hotel anywhere in our galaxy. Agree?[/quote:3858ec9a90]
No credit cards in space. Space travel is a strictly a pay up front deal
Yes you can bring your pet frog. But, you should know, those space helmets are really big on a little frog's head.
Agree, once you've been to Planet Hollywood and seen the stars. It's kinda hard to get excited about a passing meteor.
:lol: :lol:.

Photos from space
A dream would be to see things like this for real to be in the ISS and have a good look!.

Star or planet?
Heres a link to the difference between a star and planet: http://curious.astro.cornell.edu/question.php?number=548.

Virgin
I believe after 2010 they have delayed plans due to recession.

Google Shoots for the Moon
I think one day we will have BG(before google) and AG(Anno Google) instead of BC and AD..

space travel for normal folk?
space travel won't possible for common person as Airtravel no matter you are talking about next 20 years or 50 years.
10 Million can never come down to 10K,.

Virgin Space Shuttle
a $1000 a minute is still a rich mans game. Id rather spend a few month on the beach in thailand than spend $5000 for 5 mins in space. I would be that excited that 5 mins would seem like 10 seconds and I wouldnt take anything in. plus people would be pushing you outa the way to get the best view for their money!.
