OK, why? I can't imagine it being very much more exciting that flying in a plane. Perhaps you'll get a nice view of the earth, but what else?

edit: Yes, you could just downmod me, or you could explain why you're excited about being able to go into 'space'

If you're not excited by the idea of going into space then nothing I can say can possibly communicate the excitement that the idea holds for me. Overanalyze everything and nothing is exciting... I'd also like to have sex with [insert this week's celebrity crush here] even though it's "just sticking one piece of meat inside another piece of meat".

I will, however, say that every one of our ancestors for the past four billion years has been confined to a thin layer on the surface of a smallish and otherwise-undistinguished rock in a universe whose scale is... very big. To be one of the first thousand or so Earth-origin organisms to get away from the rock, even if it's just to float for a half an hour in the dark vacuum just outside, sounds pretty darn exciting to me.

It ain't first-man-on-Mars stuff, but as far as expensive rich-person holidays go it's better than a week in Vegas.

Fair enough. I'd much rather go to vegas :/

The rocket burn to get you up that high isn't something you get in a plane.
