As much fun and as cool as that would be-- I can think of a lot better uses of $250,000 (or whatever the ticket price will be) for 5 minutes of weightlessness

5 Minutes?

That's it? What a joke.

Yeah, but that $250,000 is going to be put towards a project, that within 10 years, will mean $250,000 will get you a week in orbit. New technology is always very expensive, and it's the early adapters that help bring the price down.
