No scam. But I wouldn't call $200k + exactly affordable.

That's for what, 3 minutes in space?

The Russian space tourist flights, at 10-20 million, where they
send you into orbit for a week or so, and then maybe get you back
down again (sometime) sound like the better bargain.

The Russian option may very well be the better bargain for the Duke
of Westminster, but there are plenty of folk who couldn't come up
with anything like that sum who *could* rustle up Branson's hundred
(UK) grand - heck, I reckon *I* could do that by cashing in some
investments and remortgaging my house.
