Copenhagen Suborbitals is a Danish start-up company trying to make space travel affordable, assuming that you have no desire for creature comforts. Basically you’re squished into a tiny nose cone and shot into the upper atmosphere. Sort of like when you were a kid and you put your brother’s pet hamster into a model rocket and launched it.

They don’t talk about re-entry. Maybe you’re not supposed to come back…

Dont be fooled. They said the same thing when he wanted to build a sumbarine.
Last wensday I was in the 3rd submarine he has build, taking the first dive in it.
The Uc3 nautilus is 18.5 meters long and 32 tons.
Here we are sailing into the sunset

disclaimer: if you have problems with claustrophobia, smelling your own farts, or dying, this may not be a ride suited for you.

I don’t think Jules Verne invisioned a flying sex toy at all.

In a standing position at 3g acceleration, the blood is going to drain out of your head faster than you can say Wuhhh…*klump*
By the time the rocket turns off, you’ll be in no state to take souvenir snapshots of your back garden. Most likely you’ll be dead already.

“smelling your own farts”
The prize goes to Mooncake, with Giachetti a close second.

Y’know, I’m not the most claustrophobic person in the world…but I still think I’ll pass on this…

Phil,
Anti-grav “pressurized suits keep the blood in your head. As well as breathing training which equates to grunt breathing to force even more blood into the head will negate the passing out.
Also, do you really think someone who is not given a Class A physical will be allowed to fly. Hell, Richard Garriott just went to the space station. Pilots for jets in the military are given the same training and physicals.
Next time read a book other than Gayboy.

BTW Phil,
Ever ride roller coasters?
Most exceed 3g. Do you pass out on them?
