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.
