Today's paper reports that USAir has just arranged for a new promotion: accumulate 10 million frequent-flier miles, and they'll shoot you into space (for a few minutes). I want. Mind, I don't think the combined frequent-flier miles of everybody I know would add up to 10 million, but a person can dream. :-)

Um, I should perhaps clarify that they've contracted with a company that supposedly knows what they're doing when it comes to space flight. If USAir were personally providing the trip, it might not be so appealing. :-)

but will you still have to stand in line for three hours at the security checkpoint?

Oh, I'd bet that it would be at *least* 3 hours. First the feds would have to invent a whole new body of regulations to cover the matter... who knows what they'll come up with?

Bang! Zoom!

Yeah, but think about it. By the time you accumulate 10 million miles, the technology oughta be there, and reliable, even.
