Grow my Happiness.

That does not exclude the other 2 points. In fact, currently most of my fun comes from my business.




It says "To view the flash version of this website you must have Macromedia Flash Player 8.0 installed." And thats all there is on the screen.

I translate that to "We dont know what Javascript is, probably something that has to do with HTML which probably is some weird programming language or something."

I dont think I will let these guys take my ass to the moon :-)


If they can achieve 100 suborbital flights without an accident, would you go then?


No, because having done something 100 times without failure is not a proof of a low failure-rate.

Say your failure rate is 1%. Then the chance that you get away without failure in 100 tries is 37%. (0.99^100).


If your failure rate is 5%, then the chance that you get away without failure in 100 tries is 5.9%.


0.59%


So what sort of failure rate are you looking for? Everyone wants to go into space, no?


Well, some of us want to emigrate to space, but taking a several hour ride and coming right back isn't nearly so interesting. :)


Why?


Not sure if I want to.
