@ Kurt…book me a ticket as well!

@ Justin, I still don’t think that 10% applies, a NASA flight and a domestic flight have so many different risks

That fact applies to any type of flight in out space when you think about it. But who really knows? I’m sure they said the same about regular airplanes back in the day.

I am looking for a sponsor right away...even with 10% returning possibility. wat on earth can beat going into space.

After the 5th successful flight I might actually book myself.

Can they not call it The Enterprise tho?!

@ Justin, that NASA statistic doesn’t apply to this post about domestic flights to outer space

You should be able to find it in NASA documents. NASA tells their astronauts that there is only a 10% chance of coming home due to all the things that can go wrong in space.

Also, the chance if returning from space if any one is curious is 10%.
