    Speaking of Subs, Let's go to Space for $350,000

    I thought this had already been done, but here is the latest. Apparently near the window for launch.

    So the price apparently went up.

    Virgin Galactic has sold about 800 tickets for its space trip over the past decade, with the initial batch going for $200,000 (£156,000) each, but they now cost $450,000 (£350,000) per person.

    Space orcas are evolved as shit and technologically advanced. I heard it’s mostly due to their early adoption of bitcoin, as apparent in their laser eyes

    Shit, we used to go all the time with a few hits of liquid or blotter, $10.00 MAX!

    Re-entry was sometimes a little rough, though.

    Everytime I read the thread title I keep thinking it's about Subarus in space. That would be cool.

    Can we get my little Impreza to 17,000 miles per hour? It's got airbags, so I think I'll be fine.
