A few days ago several finnish newspapers reported that Jeans89 has bought a space trip from Virgin Galactic for ~$200k. The package includes the ~2hr flight itself and 3-4 days of training.

I couldn't find anything about this with forum search but IMO there's so much photoshop potential in this that it deserves a NVG thread. Sorry, if there's already a thread as it's several days old news anyway.

He was the biggest online winner last year, winning about $4M. He also had 7 figure years at least in 2010 and 2009.

It's a sub-orbital spaceflight, not very far.

It's $30m from the U.S. but it's a relatively short and cheap trip from Finland
