By the way this was my answer to you, “Change”. And sorry that I didn’t write the direct link, it is: http://www.migflug.com/1/lynx-suborbital/ for the Xcor Lynx Spaceflight. And I just saw that Zero Gravity flights are offered as well. So, change, you can float around even in a much larger Il-76 if you trust Sowjet technology Have a look here: http://www.migflug.com/index.php?id=13&L=1

Well I think compared to other the Lynx-project provides the best value for your money. Maybe you don’t go that high, but according to http://www.migflug.com you sit next to the pilot, you have a speed of mach 2 and you have a great view through the large cockpit window. Price there it says is USD 95’000.
I think Virgin Galactic in comparison is more like a plane ride as a passenger, the Lynx more like a co-pilot. For sure not worth more double the price, even if you go higher.

This may be the start of point-to-point rapid travel; a key factor is will Lynx be able to fly trans-continental or trans-oceanic? NYC-LA in 45 minutes?

So I don't actually go into space, even by a loose definition, I don't get to float around, and they want how much to do this?
