Thank you for the welcome @timsaid !
Yes let us! I am expecting to go to space, if "only" for a suborbital flight, within the next few decades. Part of my motivation to invest in cryptocurrencies is to save for that experience!
I am also actively supporting and following a close friend of mine currently at the NASA Kennedy Space Center with his own Rocket company doing their first test launch. I expect access to space to increase many times over in the near future as commercial space actors are lowering the costs to launch (such as SpaceX) and new private initiatives (such as one that begun in the UK only last week) lay the foundation for public space travel, whether it be as tourism or future settlesments.
I will do many posts on this in the future. Both to share the current progress that are being made to allow the frontiers of space exploration and settlement, and how people can get involved :)
Hope to see you around! I have given you what I hope will be the first of many upvotes, and followed you back! Let's take off together shall we? :D

100k USD is what I would pay at a maximum to fly to space once. My next travel post might be in zero gravity? :) let's see

Yes I'm expecting the price per ticket to go down at least a ten-fold from today's 250k USD. So looking at anything in the range 20k - 30k. Of course, it depends on the duration and destination. As SpaceX has announced their plans to send someone in orbit around the Moon and back that seems a lot more attractive. The idea of seeing the Earth the same way as the Astronauts of Apollo 8 did (image known as Earthrise seen below) seems a lot more tempting than a simple suborbital flight.
Anyways I could have many opportunities to do a zero-G blight myself in the years ahead. So that will most likely be the next thing. if only to find out how my stomach handles zero-G :P
Will make sure to lay out my plans and experiences with this topic in future posts for sure!

You can try Virgin Galactic (and you can pay with Bitcoin maybe even Steem), I think they plan to fly before 2020.
