Currently there are fewer than 600 astronauts in the history of Earth; it just seems like it cheapens the brand when you can pay to join the club without even crossing the Kármán line...

I hear you. It's just bragging rights for rich guys.

lobbing fucksticks into not-orbit.

Seems like a good corporate slogan

Hey DOC! 117f! A new record. Some fun...

Sorry I had melted to my driveway and was unable to access a computer for a moment. Very fun. Very safe. Very cool. PS: If you have any ideas where I should move next - ideally somewhere with water - shoot them out. I work in media production like Bobby so don't say Georgia - that market is taken.

UH...Thanks for the offer, but not only No...Hell NO! I've seen Elon's rockets before and the way they tend to "land".

VA gets a pretty even mix of shitty weather, but rarely do we see extremes. We also get problems a 60/40 mix of shit and not shit days so it's not all bad. Coming out of LV you'll HATE the summer humidity though. Easy (few hours drive) access to the Atlantic from the DC metro area. Equally easy access to the mountains which is a nice get away for cooler weather in the summer (late fall and late winter when the looky loos aren't out the mountains make for some nice 911 driving).

No idea what the media production market looks like though.

Not that I have whatever it might cost to spend on such an endeavor, but a trip around the moon would be so much more worth it than $250k to get slung up below LEO space. I certainly wouldn't turn down a ride on any of them, but if you don't get to experience at least one full orbit of the planet or do something worthwhile up there, WTF makes it worthwhile?

Nah. It's still be worth it to see the moon up close.

I'd imagine the VA / DC metro area has tons of media opportunities. So much dog to wag.
