    I’d probably say yes to the ride, but not to the price tag

    I think that offer is right there next to the "Hey want to go on a tourist submarine ride to check out the Titanic".  No thanks.

    @aero3113 you’ve never tried weightlessness in the airplane?  I gotta say, I’ve done some absolute crazy things when I used to be involved in flight test at my work.  Terrain follow at both 100 and 500 ft AGL in a plane the size of a 737, also doing the terrain follow routes in WV mountains.  In the early days we’d do runs simulating missile, then pull straight up and keep positive G while doing a full upside down loop.   But, what got me thinking about all this was a flight or two we went completely weightless, kind of accidentally, and our mice and keyboards floated for 10 plus seconds in the air.  
    So, yes it’d be neat for me to see the Earth from space.  Weightless would just be a bonus.

    @Dream_Inn , I felt it once on a test flight for a pre purchase inspection on a Gulfstream GV. The Test pilots put the aircraft to its max parameters. Was a little nerve-racking and fun at the same time. I remember at one point looking at the cockpit from the RH #1 passenger seat and all I saw was ocean because we were basically screaming straight down into it, they stalled the aircraft on purpose.

    Depends. Does anyone know if breast implants get bigger or smaller in zero gravity?

    I don't think I would care...

    It's actually a matter of atmospheric pressure.  If it is reduced, they get bigger. This is just science talking right now.
