Spacewalks for sale check out this link " Spacewalking". If you have a lot of money and you want to go to space then this one is for you. Interesting even if you don't plan on forking out the dough to go.

Now I knew it was an expensive trip, but not THAT expensive...

Expensive and very risky... not really my kind of trip. It must be very interesting to be a salesman for such a service.

 

[Artashes]

On the contrary, I would LOVE to experience being in space, especially going on space walk. However, I just don't think I have the health for it to qualify.

 

[ldcdc]

I don't know... I just don't see the value of the experience to be worth that much. I feel quite fine with my feet on the ground.

I was not aware/don't remember you having any health issues.

Certainly nothing wrong with being on the ground. Pricewise - definitely too expensive. I was just talking about general experience.

No major issues, but I am definitely not as fit (blood pressure, previous head injuries) as an astronaut would be.

What are you talking about?? I am a SEXY BEAST!! :kiss:

It's not really the price, it's the risk that seems especially high to me. Obviously this trip is not within the realm of my financial possibilities, but if I were able to afford the price, I would probably prefer the many other less risky, yet very intriguing opportunities that would be within my grasp, with that kind of budget.

Speaking of pricing, I wonder, would a double price reduce the number of potential customers significantly? I kinda' doubt it.

Only together with your girlfriend... and she's the sexy part.

Re: good response.

Awsome response guys. I too would not be able to go do to health issues. Although I really would like to go. I took a chance and thought this might create a good conversation piece. If you liked it and you want me to post more geekly material. Sorry I haven't talked to you much. My PC broke. I found out yesterday it was the memory. So I will get more and that should fix the issue. But I am using a different computer to post this for now. Once I get mine up and running I will be back. Don't forget me. Thanx again for the strong response.

[Galaxy-Hosts]

That would be fun, but that is way too much money. Its insanely high priced.
