Although I was just reading an article that the expected age in 50 years could push as high as 120 with new advancements in medical technology.
woah... nice..
But are we talking a decent quality of life in old age?

In theory, yes.

200,000.00 USD = 114,769.55 GBP
United States Dollars United Kingdom Pounds
Wow with the exchange rate at the moment it really dosn't look that expensive, its cheaper than a cheap house anyway.

I wonder what the bank'd say if you asked for a loan to go to space...

It would probably go:
Borrower: It's for a trip to outer space.
Banker:
Borrower: Sounds like fun, doesn't it?
Banker: Yeah, if only, right?
Borrower: So, is that enough collateral?
Banker: Maybe. What did you say the loan was for again?
Borrower: A trip to space.
Banker: ...
Borrower: So?
Banker: No.

Oooh good find... now how much was $400 worth in 1914? I know in the 1950s 0.15 could get you a pizza and a coke which is about $6.00 now.
Assuming inflation is even that would be.... hmm my math say $32,000 for a flight that now costs about $60. The regular ticket was $10 which would be $800 dollars... so 800/60 would be... 13.333 which would make the $200,000 dollar flight it space cost $15,384 in about 90 years... Not bad at all!

According to the calculator I found:
What cost $400 in 1914 would cost $7464.81 in 2005.
Also, if you were to buy exactly the same products in 2005 and 1914,
they would cost you $400 and $21.43 respectively.

What cost $200,000 in 2005 would cost $10,716.95 in 1914.
Also, if you were to buy exactly the same products in 1914 and 2005,
they would cost you $200000 and $3732404.03 respectively.
clearly, going into space is not very equateable to being the first passanger on a comercial airline

Okay kids, today we learn the importance of punctuation.
Case and point;
"Virgin's in space!" vs. "Virgins in space!"
Needless to say, I didn't find the porn I wanted to in browsing this topic.

hehe, You don't think I posted this without realising that do you?
I've been waiting for someone to comment on it for a while.
