Elon Musk and SpaceX are, as I've said before, awesome

So the first all civilian space flight will be happening (hopefully) later this year, with a crew of 4...

And you can donate to a worthy charity to enter a raffle to be selected as one of those 4.

I sure hope I fit in the capsule when they draw my name!

(And hey, if you donate $50k to the charity you get chances to fly to space, and a guaranteed aerobatic flight in a Mig-29!)

I'm about 99% sure Serk will not fit in a fighter

It's amazing what Serk can cram himself in to if the experience is worth it... I MADE myself fit in the IROC car.



And granted, I more put this car on as opposed to getting in it, but dangit, I did it!

Heck, I get light headed just standing up too fast so I don't need a ride in a M-29.    As for a space flight, I've made it this far without getting any higher than flight level 350 so I'm not going to push my luck....not that I have $50k to donate anyway.

I hear what you're saying about desire - but as someone who HAS flown in tactical jets - you're not going to fit - safely (i.e. the ejection system will take off  below your knees, or you might not even fit  for the back / headrest ). And Russian equipment is , in general - fitted to a smaller person than American equipment is....
