i'm not booking them, personally, i just know that the ice gallery now has a contract with a vendor to toss people into space for a brief orbit. i've heard that it costs around $15,000? not as extensive of a trip as the backstreet boy took, but still cool.
and, if the commission is like any of our other contracts outside carnival, it'll bite bigtime. bleh.
How many people are really going to jump at the chance to do this. Space Camp only has about 35-50 attendees a year I believe.
Before any of these people take their jumps they'll have to take at least 2-5 months of training and then the launch itself will probably be hair rasing the orbit trip will take 5 days when they have eat crap, shit while in zero gravity and probably will not be allowed outside the ship for a little space walking.
If anyone is stupid enough to book a SIMPLE, $15,000 space trip... well... yeah... jesus this world we live in :)
i found it interesting, tho, in the three years that i've worked here, we've gone from booking a couple of cruises with only a few cruise lines and having 200 resorts to choose from that never came available, to booking ANY cruise in existence, 5,000 resorts, and african safaris and space trips.
That's another one I don't get. Yes, join us in dangerous lands where the risk of your death is higher than normal. Yes, we know you can die getting hit by a car, but I mean, here you are, giving us your hard eanred money, just for the chance to die? Oh yeah... great.
Of course, I could be really cynical and be with the cruise lines and say "remember Titanic?"
You should definitely get dibs on that deal. Sure, you'd have to wait for sometime until the system is fully developed, but it must be worth the wait! lol, employment discount, lol!!! (I know, it won't do anything for something that expensive, but it's worth the thought.) =)

2.) If you go, can we go with you and get your rates?

unmarked bills.
made payable to me.
*slips E some heavy duty lsd*
All worth it for the lsd!
;)
E
got me.
buy a timeshare... buy a membership, and then a deluxe upgrade to the deluxe membership... then call our travel departemnt, i guess.
course, if you can afford an extra $15,000 to do a quick trip, most likely, you don't have to work and have lots of free time?
me, too.
1.) can we book this flight for others? and then arrange to leave them in space? I have a list of people I wouldn't mind being put into orbit.
2.) if I ever get to the point where 15k is nothing to me, I'll book a flight on there to the moon for one Kramden, Alice.
*lol's at the alice remark*
