A private company called Space Perspective is not taking reservations to take you to the edge of space with high tech balloons. The reservation costs $125,000 per person, and you get to spend most of the time in the capsule wondering why you spent $125,000. The other portion of your time you spend in complete terror wondering how you are going to get down. I hope there's a bathroom onboard. What is the fascination with space tourism all of the sudden? I don't get it. I know I sound boring, but so does sitting in a capsule miles above earth. To make matters worse, they plan on eventually reserving weddings. As if the terror of being suspended miles above the earth completely unsure of how you are getting down was not enough, they added marriage to the equation. Finally, the splash down in the ocean to be taken to shore by boat, in case you haven't yet puked all over the bridal party, you get to do it all over yourself in the choppy ocean waters while still wondering why you spent $125,000 for a six hour trip to hell and back. Sounds lovely. Where do I book my ascent?
You're right. You do sound boring.
I’m waiting for someone to start the gofundme page for him/her. (Certainly there’s no WiFi from six miles up?)
