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

Fair enough, but I do believe that when a government gives more funds to a certain research organisation regarding space travel, we may be able to create something sustainable for the future. Doesn't necessarily have to be a space elevator, but at least something that ensures that space travel becomes more viable. It is risk worthy.

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.

I don't think the ISS is far away enough from Earth, to show that it's curved.

Sure it is, the US Navy have a plane that can fly high enough to show the curve of the earth.

 

This is what earth looks like from the ISS

That's not far enough to make those flat Earthers believe the Earth is round. It needs to be a lot lot further.

Like this

 

Then again, they will just say it's still flat, like a coin, so screw them!

Looking at the requirements I'm under impression that it won't be too popular, if 1 person in 100 000 has the money, then you get another 1 in 100 000 or something chance that such person also fulfils or the requirements.

I saw higher prices for roaming on Earth

I think there would be a few rich people in the pharmaceutical field that could qualify.

lets see... the price for a spaceships r&d is probably higher but if your gonna do this then make your own darn spaceship

With that attitude yes.  Question is if you had it why would you blow that much cash?  Dropping that kind of cash is more something a multi billionaire would be doing.  "Normal" millionaires are saving whatever they can get.
