£125.000, I wouldn't go on the thing if they paid me that sort of cash.
I would want a lot of flights and safe returns under their belt, before I trust them with my life!
with all of the regulations we have to deal with, to fly the public on jet aircraft, how on earth do they get permision to take fare paying punters on something like this.
The public on jet aircraft is paying to get from point A to point B, in a safe and routine manner. The space tourist is looking for adventure, he is obviously aware of the risks and takes them willingly. There is nothing in common between him and the punters, and fortunately, whoever is giving the permission seems to realize the difference.
