   It's also a extremely long way away from orbit, which is a matter of velocity   
   not altitude.   
      
   Translation: this is another way of parting (rich) fools with their money.   
   They'll get some nice photos, a pair of almost real-gold, almost   
   astronaut-wings, and a huge bill. And everyone in the real space industry will   
   laugh at them behind their backs.    
   Although some industry insiders might just laugh in their faces.
