    Yeah, $200,000 is really a bargain when you think about it.

    [...] Stokke is billing the chair as “the closest you’ll ever get to zero gravity.” Since I don’t expect to have the cash to take a trip into space with the Russians or Virgin Galactic, I’m inclined to agree. [...]

    Altough I appreciate & respect the chance for normal civilians to reach out into space - (It’s an awesome idea) but, shouldn’t we be reaching for the stars instead by investing our time, knowledge, understanding & worldwide wealth into interstellar star travel?
    We are after all in the height of a technological & scientific evolution with the possibilities & logical theories already there - shouldn’t we be acting on these revelations instead of scratching our heads, constantly?
    Take a “deep deep” look at the amazing “un-believable” universe that we live in & do not tell me that there isn’t anything that is not possible ;)
