I would love to go on that:horray:
Must say I'd love to go on it too, although sadly I it would take me like 5 years to save up that kind of money :( (and somehow live for free! :P)
Also seems like a bit of a short trip, I'd want more for my money :P

Amazing. I spend my working life trying to develop energy saving technologies and save the polar bears whilst all the time rich charlies are dreaming up new ways to waste enormous amounts of energy. I wonder sometimes why i bother.

It'd be an amazing experience though. I think I will wait until they do trips to Mars though. I want to be the first person to climb Olympus Mons! :D
