I think your joy-ride threshold is too low. I would be willing to pay $100 for the experience and might even go as high as $300 or $400. I believe that many a yuppie would even be willing to pay more than that. Steve DiPirro Digital Equipment Corp.

I'd probably be considered a yuppy (age 25, BSc (Cmpt.Sc.), 2 yrs employment at a datacomm firm, cook french cuisine, etc). I'd pay TEN times the amounts you guys have been quoting. Of course I'd want to get behind the wheel for a while. 8-) -- Trevor K. Flory UUCP: ...!ihnp4{!alberta}!sask!zaphod!flory Develcon Electronics Ltd:(disclaim!)

Considering that my friends and i have seriously considered paying $100
just to go skydiving, my threshold for a space trip would be much
higher than that. i would say, a few thousand dollars or so.
