Travel in space
Untitled 1 year ago

Just read the news that Charles Simonyi, a Microsoft billisonaire, went to the space at the age of 59. The trip cost about $25 million.

I hope I can do this once in my life time. For that to happen, the space travel will have to become very cheap (less than $500K?) or I will have to become very rich (net worth more than $100m?).

space tourism is coming

never fear. there are several companies working on affordable space travel for 100,000 or less and that’s in just the next 10 years or so. 20 or 30 years might see huge changes in technology and price.
