How would you like to experience space?

Clipped to the Drawing Board by Ryan

If you have a spare $200,000 lying around then you can experience zero gravity in space. That's all it's going to cost for a 2 hour trip aboard the Virgin Galactic. This might sound like a lot to you but compared to other means of getting into space it is actually quite cheap. While up there you won't quite get views like this, but it will be similarly spectacular.

No doubt this is just the beginning and as competition kicks in prices will fall to something more accessible for us normal people.
