I've already applied and my father, mother, and I are Voyagers No. 89, 90, and 91 respectively. This corresponds to seats 589, 590, and 591. We also received a giant care package courtesy of Virgin. I can't wait.
I also didn't do it here, the OP is just ridiculous.
Only if I can fuck a real virgin in zero g!
[QUOTE=Master117;22753159]It's funny because in 50 years we're are going to be like "I can't believe people spent that much money to go to space when we do it every day now..."[/QUOTE]
People will say "they spent [i]that[/i] much on just getting into zero-G atmosphere? I can get to Mars for a fraction of that cost!"
Also: OP is an idiot. They want something [b]GARRY'S MOD[/B] newsworthy.

I will have to declare shenanigans on this one.

Oh, I see now. Thank you.

I'll be right back to get pics then.

so you guys paid $600,000 in total to fly on this thing?

Yes.
if i had a ticket i'd give one to kotick in the hope something would go wrong

I already explained i'm not selling tickets, read it please.
Just to be picky: It's not actually zero-g, because gravity at that altitude is 6% less than gravity on the surface. It's actually called free-fall, because orbiting (Or, in this case, sub-orbiting) is falling but moving fast enough for the ground to curve away below you :science:

There's no such thing as zero gravity anyways. The law of universal gravitation.
You know, for a split second I thought it was some Virgin Galactic employee offering us tickets.

Stop being so picky about it.
Oh no one iota of gravity IT'S NOT REALLY ZERO-G.
Yeah we get it Universal gravity but last time I checked an insignificant fraction is still used as 0.

That's in space, up there you can say it's zero-g because it's negligible. But the gravity on the ISS or anywhere in orbit is close to 9.6 m/s². That is, it's almost the same. They are not in zero-g, they are free-falling.

You sound a little butthurt over something thats correct.
And really we aren't ever an a state of zero G, just zero G relative to our immediate surroundings, we're getting pulled to the galactic centre.
I really wish we could all let this thread die...
$200000 doesn't sound that bad.

It's close to nothing in terms of gravity, your science is flawed.

no, where virgin galactic is going is far from having no gravity, you're only feeling like there's no gravity aboard the ship because it's in freefall

No, I'm pretty sure they're doing something different. Those tickets are only about $3000.
This is a little too expensive for the layman, I hope Ryanair throw their hat into the ring and offer up a more reasonably priced service. They could charge extra for oxygen and anti-radiation shielding and make a bundle.

pay for landing or burn up in athmosphere
[QUOTE=mjb559;22748582]But soon, Richard, along with all of the Virgin franchise will venture into unexplored territory[/QUOTE]
I lol'd after reading this part.
Anyways, this is pretty cool, but don't expect me to come up with $200,000 to pay for a ticket.

orbiting is free-falling.
This is interesting.

[QUOTE=Wikipedia]Weightlessness in orbit is not the result of the force of gravity being eliminated, or even significantly reduced, by distance (in fact, the influence of the Earth's gravity at an altitude of 200 km is only 6% less than at the Earth’s surface).[/QUOTE]

I kinda felt that way when I first say the emote too :ohdear:
