To The Moon in 2012

[SpaceCowboy]

Is anyone interested in going to the moon in late 2012? If so, please reply and express your interest. This is not a joke.

 

[lennartsmit]

I would give absoluteley everything for it!

 

[blane]

I guess my holiday budget for 2012 is not sufficient

 

[joeybigO]

I'm up for it.

 

[SpaceCowboy]

lennartsmit and joeybigO If you're serious, PM me for more info.

snwcrsh Not as a tourist but as an astronaut.

 

[pete.dakota]

I'm guessing the idea is you recruit enough people to make a huge human pyramid? And the guy at the top will top 100km?

 

[SpaceCowboy]

Actually no. This is serious.

 

[pete.dakota]

Care to indulge us? Or will only the 'chosen ones' be privy to this highly classified space shot?

 

[SpaceCowboy]

I will not release any info on this thread. If you want to hear more, than write me.

You don't take this serious do you?

 

[Ghostrider]

I'm in, for a reasonable paycheck.

 

[blane]

doesn't esa recruit all their astronauts from internet forums?

2012 ... If I had the chance I'd jump at it.

The only drawbacks I could see in my case would be my age (over 40), and the fact I wear glasses.

 

[SpaceCowboy]

Ghostrider Well I can't promise that early on.

snwcrsh I don't know. But this is not ESA.

Biscuit I wear glasses too. That's not a problem.

 

[pete.dakota]

I can't wait for the headlines: "Space agency started on internet forum beats World's superpowers to the Moon".

 

[SpaceCowboy]

Well we will see who is laughing in 4 years.

 

[ar81]

Count me in...
I would go for free, with the only condition of bringing me back alive and in one piece.

 

[SpaceCowboy]

You bet!

Ghostrider Well I can't promise that early on.

As long as life insurance is provided, the rest can be negotiated.

And neither SPARTAAAAAAAAAAA I hope...

 

[SpaceCowboy]

I don't know about that either. This is about more than money. Do you have a real passion for spaceflight?

I do, but I also have a family that needs some security if I buy the farm on the way up, down, or sideways. I have one on my current job which unfortunately entails this kind of risk.

Anyway, anyone who has the money to send me and some other chap to the Moon and (hopefully) back, would have no problem with paying my life insurance (AND a nice bonus for us lunatics, and you would find my fees reasonable). It would be a paltry sum compared to the amount of money needed to finance the mission anyway.
