For 500k you could buy a house or live off the interest. If you can afford it, go ahead. Me, I’d pay off my house and spend a week in Vegas.

Why don't you, and this is going to sound crazy here, go to the link that person posted, fill out the form and this is where it really gets crazy, ask blue origin how much it costs?

There's no shops in space bro. You don't need to take money. Jeez get a load of this guy.

I think that you're inferring that a person willing to drop 500k on a space trip is so wealthy that they would just own their home outright.

I may have misinterpreted, though. But if that's what you meant, then a glimpse at OPs post history suggests that they don't have a mortgage because they're a kid.

I could find someone to put you into space for 500K. Did you want to come back? That's gonna cost more.

Sure, but I wouldn’t carry it in twenties. That’s a lot of bills taking up space.

Might be better to just buy a really expensive diamond or something. much more spatially efficient.

It supplements my social security very well, it will also be growing as you wait to retire. Your math is exactly right. 25k a year is a great help, but can’t be the only thing.

I don’t think so. $20 million or so seemed to be the going rate a bit ago.

Instructions not clear, a part of me which i will not disclose, has become stuck in the car exhaust - send help.

No, but for that kind of money I can get you enough drugs to send you to space.

I can do it for you but I'm going to need 300k up front. You'll be put on a list for a while so you'll just have to be patient. Don't contact me, I'll contact you.

I think recently the price to LEO has dropped to 4k per kg, so for an 80kg person would be $320,000. You're probably not an inert hunk of material so probably much more expensive than that

Op, I would need 300k upfront for rocket costs. I will need a lot of foil and match heads.

There’s no place to spend that kind of money in space!

You know, you could fill that hole in your life quite a bit cheaper by dedicating that time and effort to other life. Your sense of self needs to expand or you'll continue to waste away.

Just remember, it's only going to get cheaper. In ten years maybe you could get an orbital flight or even go around the moon for the same money, so unless you're planning on this becoming a recurring purchase it could even be wise to hold on to that a little longer
