For $100K a 1-hr pop, I guess those with alot of spare cash can consider it as long as you pass the motion sickness test.
But there is so little info so far on the actual trip. Would it be launched on a rocket, like the space shuttle or be boosted into space from a jumbo jet like the Virgin option? I would assume for a 2 seater craft, an interal booster may suffice to boost it to above 100km...
Anyone going? I am pretty sure if he is not flying onboard himself, Gavin would be imaging your flight from his bedroom. on his trusty LX90...
btw, there seems to be something wrong with the math. How is it possible for a vehicle travelling diagonally at only Mach1 to reach an altitude of over 100km in 3 min ? T
