Who Would You Like To Join

[Hans Tucker (Hans)]

Ok .. hypothetically .. who would you like to join on their up and coming Space Flight.

Richard Branson in Virgin Galactic or Jeff Bezos on Blue Origin.

Please .. not interested in what you personally think about the individuals this is more about the Spacecraft and the experience.

[Sconesbie (Scott)]

Branson for me.

I don't think I am ready to go with either of them just yet.

I would happily accompany either of them provided they were in a nice little jar that could be emptied out a convenient hatch.

Bezos

Bezos - Only for the extra height of the flight and method.

Bezos 62 miles(basically 100k's)
Brason 80ks.

That's an extra 25% height and vertical lift off/landing... Taken off/landed in planes before, so, easy Bezos.

The drop from the plane and rockets firing would be awesome, but its still mostly atmospheric flying and not inter-solar spaceship stuff.

yes being strapped to a rocket is probably a cooler feeling, i do like the v galactic cabin so would probably have to do both.

Blue Origin Total Flight Time 11 minutes .. less time than Alan Shepard's Flight.

Virgin Galactic Total Flight Time 2.5Hrs .. 5-8 mins weightlessness.

VG more bang for your bucks

Blue Origin .. imagine all the Austin Powers jokes when this appears on RADAR

True,

"Virgin Galactic Total Flight Time 2.5Hrs .. 5-8 mins weightlessness."

Hmm, add the rocket burn time to that "5-8min" and the rest is climbing etc. Seems like extra padding, I'll still take VTOL and the extra height. Anything above normal airline heights would be cool though.
