Would you ever apply for a space tour package if it is affordable ? Flying in the air could be very tempting.

This is tricky. If it was for the general public & not just the elite so I wouldn't feel like a fish out of water, I would LOVE it!

It is not that costly. Musk's trip might be. But there are options where they fly through space for 10 minutes and that will be a zero gravity period. Then it is back to an aeroplane like condition.

If it's not costly, then I would want to apply for it, no matter what. In fact, it would be like a dream come true for me! I love space and everything about that vast, beautiful and yet deadly space amazes me.
I am sure risk in involved here but I would love to take that risk and I wouldn't mind losing my life in the process. That's just how crazy I am about space.

I figure humans can only fly in space. Nowhere else is that possible, unless they have some simulator. Well, of course they have simulators to train astronauts.
Anyway, flying as in alone, not in a plane, is a primal human dream and would be very exciting and fun, of course!
Oh wait a second, you do have bungee jumping and sky diving etc.. Is that the same thing?

There are many ways to fly. But weightlessness can be experienced only in space.

If it's just to fly over space for sight seeing, it's something I would be interested in doing. But if it involves landing in planets and coming out, count me out.

I'll pass, knowing my luck something would happen. Plus I've seen some shows on what happens when you let too much space trash gather up and you just send rockets flying by.
