Is €17500 worth for a flight at 1/5 of the space orbit altitude at a supersonic speed?
 

For that price you can see the curved Earth and starts from there.



So would you, as a tourist, pay it? Just asking...

i wouldn´t pay a quid for that, I don´t like flying! But Gary would if we had that kind of cash flow to use on day trips...

it does look exciting!

Where do i signup ? :upsidedow

People pay average 80kUSD to climb Everest, and the death rate on Everest is 6.5%. If they say something like "The trip for winners! Be the first to brag about your trip to space, even if all you did was make a payment! Great selfie!" then they'll get plenty of business

80k to climb to mountain? The fuck ?

You can do it here (just notice the $$$ and seems it will be available the summer time again): Fly MiG-29 in Russia | MiGFlug

I would love to do it, I would feel guilty though - All that money for less than an hour of fun but I could change someones life forever with it...

It would be a nightmare if I was rich - The guilt would kill me - Not something I will ever have to worry about though!....

Only 45 minutes, should be at-least 3 hours minimum :D

I'm not the one who sets up the prices and timing. That's why I've actually asked.

P.S. On the other hand. How much it would cost to you for a one hour flight at a personal (you are the only passenger) civilian jet which doesn't use afterburners for a supersonic speed and needs less of fuel?

cool story to brag about afterward, wouldn't do myself though :winkwink:

Yes, i think i'v seen business class flight for around similar price.

I paid £12,000 for a first class return ticket from Heathrow to LAX 20+ years ago
So 17,500 Euros seems like a bargain especially if this is your pilot ?

Yep, that is exactly what i wanted to point out.

This is actually you :1orglaugh

But for real, flying at 1/5 of the outer space altitude with a supersonic speed should be a dream of anyone when we were kids, isn't it?

Well i would more preffer trip to ISS :upsidedow

Have spare $10 millions? ))) This guy did it for free and he was not happy :upsidedow

I would be pissed I didn't even see stars.

Not for those who is scared of heights. Me.

Yep,

How Much Does it Cost to Climb Mount Everest? – 2020 Edition

Guide and fees $66,000

That's for bare minimum no luxuries to 8000 feet, above which you need a Team Leader, trash fee, and a 5000 deposit in case of accidents.

This is BEFORE equipment, flights, food, insurance, hotels, and extra guides. A total of around 60 days is necessary to complete the Everest Expedition, so, you'll be paying gringo prices for two months.

think how much it cost just to get the pilot up there :2 cents:

What a nightmare - 60 days of pure hell and the bastards charge you an arm and a leg (possibly literally) - If I wanted that I would check into Disney Land - On second thoughts that would probably cost about the same!..

That's a strange thing actually. I also scared of heights... when I stay at a thin piece of something at a high altitude, it scares me as shit, but when I'm at a balcony (I'm living in a skyscraper) or when I'm inside of a plane, I have no fear at all. No, I think it's cool. I don't like to be locked inside of a closed area with unknown people (actually I don't like people at all), but when I'm in an airplane and I seat near an porthole, all fears go away. I feel like a kid when we take off and landing. And during the whole flight I'm just relaxing (even if we went into an airhole and other passengers are vomiting). I don't like planes because I don't like to be with the people inside of a can, but I really love to fly.

I dont live with my mother so :1orglaugh

Shit happens :winkwink:

It's Russia. I don't think that a civilian pilot can earn more than $10,000 USD a month. Of course if someone is a personal pilot of Putin or a pilot of one of his friends/oligarchs and he does a blowjob (literally) to his bosses, he may earn 100x times more. But that's an exception. A regular pilot in Russia can't go over $10K a month.
