Space tourism is taking off! Are you on board?
Would you pay the 'arm-and-leg' cost of travel to be the first wave (aprox. $200,000) or wait 5-10 years for the price to drop dramatically?
What would you expect to realistically be available with this package?

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

As for paying $200k - that's more than my condo is worth after this housing bubble... so, no, I couldn't pay that. The other thing to consider is that you're paying for an experience, not a "thing" that you keep / use. Experiences are worth different amounts to different people; however most people generally enjoy shared experiences more - People can watch a movie at home alone, but if they want an experience, they go out to the movies with friends... same with dinner... sight seeing... etc. Going to space would be the ultimate sight seeing trip, so very likely people would want to share it with someone their close to... now you're looking at $400k or more.
I would consider saving up for a $4000 experience, but until the price drops that low, I'll just use my imagination and take my wife to the movies... or better yet, star gazing for free.

I think it more learns towards those that can might and the price is likely to drop a the initial "be the first!" hype wears off.
Sure in the next 5-10 years the prices could be cut in half but if you have the money why wait. If you have the money and want to go into space there is no real good reason I can think of to wait. You never know what is going to happen in the future so waiting could mean missing the opportunity entirely.

I agree with you all the way! Only, I think it will drop way below half once it's started and fully funded. It's a technology which means the more perfected it gets, the cheaper it gets. Something Micheal Dell taught us (besides how to bail out on your employees).
P.S. Pets are allowed too especially cats!

I'd expect to go on a space ship and hang out in orbit or on the moon for at least a few days. I'd also expect to go outside the spaceship in a space suit and hang out. Also, I'd expect some killer souvenir photos as well.

I believe that is the direction they plan to take. Me? Had I the money, I'd be on the first flight. Lifes short in my book. heh

Jason: up the default tip to 10.00 so we can all go to space.
If mahalo carries space flights, I'm gonna stop tipping and start earning... hehe
