… on that note, 35 million for space travel …. how much did he have to pay for zach braff’s face ?? (although it looks like it couldn’t have been too much )

also…. 35 million dollars could feed a looooot of people. However, it is his money and his decision how to spend, regardless of whatever we think would be the most sensible use for it.
it is noble of people to donate money, yet you can’t expect them to…

@18
You incompetent worthless fool. Is that your “theory” on life that you fall back to whenever you disagree with someone? LOL…those who think life is all about sizing one’s self to others based upon accomplishments are no better than a pack of apes.

“The big ape looks poorly at the little ape, and dislikes the biggest ape because its bigger.” That’s your life. But in most cases the “little ape” just likes to swing through the trees, wild and free, paying no attention to you, and you HATE it.

Now think, if you can, the money this greedy man is using could be put toward space/rocket research. That would serve a far better purpose than spending more than 1,000 of people life incomes on a “fun space ride.” If the cost of such an expedition where 200,000 I would not mind at all. But to spend what that man is spending on HIMSELF ALONE so he can float in space is disgusting.

Imagine what it would feel like if you paid 35 million dollars to go to space but when you get there something goes wrong and the spaceship breaks and catches on fire. I’d be thinking “I wish I spent it on high class hookers and blow instead”

@ berkut

Actually I think the Russians announced that there discontinuing there current manned space program because there recieving more money from the government so they dont need to depend on this for finacial support anymore.

Actually I dont think he likes Russia much as he alleges his family left Russia due to anti-semitism, which is odd since communism was installed in Russia by 300 New York Jews and financed by the powerfull Schiff/Rothschild jewish banking dynasty.

Actually why would you wont to pay that much money to go to the spacestation theres nothing up there, after an hour you would be pretty board. They should just make a fake spacestation on a movie set with stars and that in the background like the US did with the Apollo moon landing.

What are friggin waste of money. It makes me sick seeing people blow money like that when there are people around the world who can’t even afford to EAT. And I don’t care what it is, but if you spend that kind of money, and it’s not required for your survival, then its a waste, since those people without food NEED it for their survival.

If they had any imagination they’d start their own space company, $35 mil would be a decent start! the google lunar x prize is only $30 mil cheap ba$tards! Just like jeff bezoz both are waiting for smarter people to do the grunt work before piling their money in no doubt.

Ahhh…. RLSLogKing.
Three kinds of people in this world. The haves, the have-nots and those who are that are so incompetent/lazy that they will never make it to the haves and so they go out of there way to criticise those that do.
They had an idea, worked hard on it, built their company up to be worth $30b+.
Maybe they should give it all away, instead of just the millions that both they and the company donate to charities and causes each year?

Would that make it all better for you? Make that chip on you shoulder a little smaller?

I already booked my flight on Orbitz….

btw, 16- if we had money like that, most of us would probably spend it on things much worse.

I hope they blow up on take off. What an incredible waste of money so one filthy/greedy rich man can satisfy his desire to “float around in space.”
