Speaking of 'willing servants', what's the latest on Legal Bill and FC 04? 
I think about it every day. Without going into too much detail, I have to be in another state on Monday morning, bright and early. It is a family matter and I have to make sure that other family members are ready to go the night before. I just don't see how I can leave Pittsburgh on Sunday and be in any kind of shape either Sunday night or at 6:00 am Monday morning when I'll have to drive for two hours. Is it possible? Yes. Is it practical? No. Can I risk not getting home in time for Sunday night/Monday morning preperations? Not in good conscience.Please know that I really wish I could be with all of you that weekend. If anything changes (which it could) I will sign up.

I'd be willing to fork over a significant chunk of my annual salary if I could make love to my girlfriend while in orbit, then roll (float?) over, cuddle and enjoy the view of Earth from space. they need private rooms on those Virgin flights. 
screw the Mile High club. I want to be a founding member of the In-Orbit Club!

I was born and raised in NYC (but don't hold that against me) but it should give me some privledged status when it comes to a New York minute. Shouldn't New Yawkers get some consideration here?I would be all over it!
I had always wanted to fly on the Concorde because I thought that was going to be the closest that I would ever get to space flight.
I know that this will sound somewhat morbid when I say it: But I have always felt bad for the group of German tourist that died on the one and only Concorde crash in history. If one were going to die on the one and only Concorde in historty to ever crash it is better to have crashed on landing at JFK than shorty after take off from DeGaule. As they never got to experience super sonic flight after paying alll of that money for the experience!
because of the jetstream.I only wish I had been able to get on the return where you arrived at JFK before you left Heathrow

For those that do want to do this, then next year at Six Flags NJ, you should try the new coaster. 0 - 128 mph in 3.5 sec. and climbs to 456 ft.

I a heart beat! Starting next month you can ride the Vomit Comet and do 15 - 20 weightless cycles for $3,000.00. I saving up!
Really! I'd be all over that (hopefully, not my lunch ) Where did you find information on the Vomit Comet rides.
