  1. $250k for 2minutes? Naaaa

  2. I had an idea on what to call space tourists – how about a "Touranaut"…

  3. have we forgotten what happened to the submersable

  4. A quarter million dollars for a few minutes of weightlessness?

  5. Kind of a lot of money for a flight without snacks and a beverage.

  6. Lol…… Circus in space

  7. I predict a tragedy as the submersible case.

  8. why are we being spoon fed by Jimmy Olsen,"cub reporter" ?

  9. "Normal people at home can go to space"…. ummm yeah… if you're not filthy rich you cant..

  10. as cool as it seem. I prefer to stay on the ground

  11. Thats neat. Meanwhile we have all the issues in earth

  12. Just like the hone made subs

  13. Gives me memories of the titanic submarine just the opposite direction

  14. Passengers earned a title.of Astronaut now for taking a ride

  15. Why risk your daughters life? Especially with what happened with oceangate.

  16. THEY SHOULD BE CALLED SPACE TOURISTS. CALLING THEM ASTRONAUTS IS AN IDIOCY IF NOT AN AMERICAN IDIOCY.

  17. THEY SHOULD BE CALLED SPACE TOURISTS. CALLING THEM ASTRONAUTS IS AN IDIOCY IF NOT AN AMERICAN IDIOCY.

  18. History is being made and were all here to witness it. Imagine hundreds of years when this is taught in school text books

  19. I would love to go. Hopefully this will be commercialized within my lifetime and at a fair price

  20. Yet the Communist democrats won't let anyone afford it.

  21. And you can go for a ride for the low price of 500k

  22. They’re sending virgins to space now?thot I would not see that in my life
