Finally, an original idea in Reality TV

Clicky

I might actually watch this. Though anyone with any physics knowledge (or anyone who watched the X-Prize launches) would know that you would experience microgravity at 62 miles altitude.

I'm definitely gonna watch it, and I freaking hate reality tv.

The scary thing is, when I first heard a promo for it, they described it as training up civilians to send them in to space and watching that etc... and I was just thinking "omq how the hell did I miss the sign up day!?" There's no amount of money in the world that would get me on Big Brother or any of that crap, but the chance to go into space, I'd be there in an instant. Then they said it was all a joke (hee hee, "May the Farce be with you") and I realised how embarassing it will be to be one of those people.

They said they've gone for reasonably gullible people though, so I doubt a physics graduate would have gotten on :p

You might have made it as the actor/actress on the show hired to make it more convincing for everyone else.

yeah but, they're not actually going into space, ergo, I have no interest in being involved in it!

Unless, at the end of the show they wheel out a huge catapault and send them into space one by one. :D

now that'd be TV worth watching.

Might watch it. It looks good from those ads with Johhny Vaughn on them.
nope.

They should have left MIR in orbit; sent up 10 people with enough oxygen to last two people a month; then closed the hatch and told them they'll be back in a month.

That's a really creepy idea. Anyway, I'd watch it. (The "Star Trick" thing) But I don't have TV! Waaaaahaaa! :(

But it's not in space.

I'm curious who will be these contestants.

Oh great, another annoying gotcha type reality show. Talk about originality. Hey heres a great show; to win a million dollars lets make contestants step on a paper bag which we've told them is full of apple sauce but is really full of dog poo. And at the end lets all jump out from the bushes we were hiding behind and scream out "GOTCHA!?!?!".
