XCOR Aerospace and RocketShip Tours have joined up to offer what they call The Experience , which offers a trip "to the edge of space" in XCOR's new Lynx spacecraft, piloted by Space Shuttle veteran Col. Rick Searfoss. After one minute, the craft is at supersonic speeds. Riders experience 2½Gs of force as it pitches up to nearly 90° in the ascent. Soon after, the sky becomes black and the rider becomes weightless. The curve of the Earth stands just outside your window seat, which happens to be right next to the pilot himself. All I need to do now is find an extra $95,000 laying around. Still, it's a whole lot cheaper than the 20 million that the Soviet Union was charging for a ride on their spacecraft. See the video .
Carry others in your climb.
