Can you guys believe it? The founder (Dennis Tito) of the company that I work for will be leaving for the International Space Station on April 28th. I still can't believe he spent $20 million just so he can travel out to space for a week. It's kinda funny sometimes the kind of e-mails that are sent to our webmaster e-mail alias. We've been getting a lot of e-mails that support him and some that are downright nasty. Oh, well. Just thought I'd share from one fellow S2000 owner to another...

 

20 millions? I though you only need 10. Man! But I'm sure that his name will be engraved as the first commercial passenger to space.

 

If I had it, I'd be there!

 

If I had it, I'd have been there already

 

That 20mil would have gone a long way to help private interprise get the rest of us to space. But, it's his money.

 

If I had the money, I would own an s2k...

 

According to one of my coworkers who work closely with him, Tito payed significantly less than the $20 million. Oh, well... I guess I know where the rest of my pay raise went to...

 

I wonder what significantly less is, only 19 million.

Stupid as it is, I put a small fund together, seperate from everything else, just for the chance to hit outer space. I put a little money in every month, and if it turns out to be a bust, I'll just blow it on a Diablo. Long way to go, but hey, can you imagine the photo-op's ?
