Imagine being rich enough to be able to indulge in LITERALLY any whim that crawls into your mind. lol

Not hating, just saying. What a life!

"I'm bored, what should we do?"
"Ibiza on the yacht?"
"ugh! Again???"
"Hey I know, let's pay someone to fly us around the moon!"
"That is a fantastic idea Reginald."
"Why thank you Alexander."

I certainly would not be paying to go around the moon.

Geez, it only took NASA years to prepare and accomplish a moon journey. Good luck SpaceX, but i'm not holding my breath for 2018. More power to ya if it happens Musk.

That is going to be insanely uncomfortable and sucky. The 1st time humans sailed across the ocean probably half of them died.

Ill wait until they work the bugs out

It's only a 5 day trip and the Dragon capsule is fairly roomy compared to the one used on Apollo. Not to mention there will only be 2 people vs the 7 that the dragon capsule is capable of carrying.

I feel like they went out of their way to make that resemble the capsule from the movie Contact.

Whats funny is that despite it seeming comfortable to you right now, in 100 years when its perfected, that accommodation will seem like riding a stage coach in comparison.

For example when the titanic set sail it was the grandest ocean liner in existence (to them). But if you or me walked onto a replica today, itd feel extremely dated and just blow overall.
