Do you have $52 million, now you can visit the ISS for a maximum of 30 days

Go to solution Solved by NumLock21,

Personally, I'm glad NASA is setting requirements as to who can go and who can't, and not just inviting any random people who has $52 million dollars to burn. The ISS is work place, not a fancy 5 star hotel.

Whoever has the money and is qualified, I hope they don't take the once in a lifetime experience for granted, and still show the utmost respect to those astronauts. Because there will be some out there who has the money, is qualified, but don't deserve to be up there.

There's less than a 1% chance I'll hit 1M before I'm 40.

That just sounds like an old timey saloon/brothel.

it is kinda the point..........

 

its the ISS.

  1. its not cheap
  2. there is limited space
  3. you need to especially interested
  4. there is slow wifi
  5. there would be complaints regarding the slow wifi.

im suprised if there is more than 2 tourists allowed at once.

I could honestly care less about the WiFi and instead just enjoy the view and the experience that you can get onboard the ISS. Hopefully one day we can have a space elevator so we can decline the costs of getting a ship into space. If only governments would invest their time in it...

I doubt one could afford that even if we pooled everyone on this forum's net worth.

Personally, I'm glad NASA is setting requirements as to who can go and who can't, and not just inviting any random people who has $52 million dollars to burn. The ISS is work place, not a fancy 5 star hotel.

Whoever has the money and is qualified, I hope they don't take the once in a lifetime experience for granted, and still show the utmost respect to those astronauts. Because there will be some out there who has the money, is qualified, but don't deserve to be up there.

There is a reason why they dont do it. Mostly because with any current building materials it is practically impossible

You miss the point, if I'm paying fuel, board and lodgings by way of 50 million dollars why must I also have a degree.

 

That's akin to a hotel saying paying guests can only stay if they're qualified to clean the room after they've stayed.

No, no. You have it backwards. You have to have a degree, but why must you also have to pay for fuel, board, and lodgings?

Personally I hope somebody funds a single night stay to a flat earther and NASA make an exception and allow them to go up. Even then the flat earth community would probably still stay the person was endoctrinated and any footage was edited.
