Would You Pay $150 Million To Go To the Moon?

Anytime I see a story about space travel, I can't help but delve into the subject with fervor. I've always wanted to go into space, ever since I was a little kid. Especially since I, like many of you came of age during the first moon launches. Add to that the fact that I lived in Cape Canaveral and you're got a transfixed 12 year old, albeit a little older now.

So this headline got my interest:
Would you be willing to pay $150 Million for a trip to the moon?

Apparently somebody will. Space Adventures, the only company offering tourist orbital spaceflights, has reached an agreement with the Russian Soyuz TMA spaceship that will modify their spacecraft with additional living space for eight-day commercial flights around the Moon. And Space Adventures already has their first customer. Vice-chairman Richard Garriott said the company has sold one of the two seats for the flight. He expects the launch to take place 2015.

I can't help but wonder if they'll take the $150 Million in three easy payments of $50 Million each ?
