There are far cheaper ways to experience weightlessness than VG and their £200k.

For ~£3k you can fly in the 'vomet comet' - https://www.gozerog.com/

Or go for aerobatic trial lesson for ~£150 per hour and ask the pilot to keep unloading to 0g!!!

I'm sure that they pay their £200k for the full astronaut experience: rocket ride, weightlessness, the view from outside the atmosphere, re-entry and the ability to say they did it!
