Currently the going rate on Blue Origin is around 1.2m. They plan to bring it down to 200k eventually.

Well the planets looked like really bright stars that would wander around the sky so I could imagine the curious would really want to know if they could figure them out or predict their motion

Yep, and if you are actually spending the interest instead of letting it compound, inflation is going to make that 25k worth less and less as time goes on.

I don’t think so. $20 million or so seemed to be the going rate a bit ago.

It supplements my social security very well, it will also be growing as you wait to retire. Your math is exactly right. 25k a year is a great help, but can’t be the only thing.

Sure, but I wouldn’t carry it in twenties. That’s a lot of bills taking up space.
Might be better to just buy a really expensive diamond or something. much more spatially efficient.

I guess trust fund baby is a real possibility judging by their inability to help themselves and just screaming for others to help them 🤷♂️

Ilk is the proper word. Hancock doesn't need to be mentioned in order to discuss the Tepes of Turkey.

So now the government is hiding the site by building a structure and visitor center? Gotcha. Okay Eddie Bravo

I could find someone to put you into space for 500K. Did you want to come back? That's gonna cost more.

It was definitely the science that proved science itself had to have a methodology outside religious thought and that it needed something besides logic to solve discrepancies. Galileo pushed for that ... and won, eventually.

I think that you're inferring that a person willing to drop 500k on a space trip is so wealthy that they would just own their home outright.
I may have misinterpreted, though. But if that's what you meant, then a glimpse at OPs post history suggests that they don't have a mortgage because they're a kid.

There's no way you live off the interest of 500k lmao. Assuming a very generous interest rate of 5% (Highest I've seen so far is 3.3%) that's 25k a year.

>Why don't you, and this is going to sound crazy here, go to the link that person posted, fill out the form and this is where it really gets crazy, ask blue origin how much it costs?
