Yeeeah, you're an aerospace engineer, right? 
I don't think asking them for a safe take-off would be that smart, it's blackmail. Full-on extortion, plain and simple.
No, what you want to do is wait until they're actually up there, and then you ask them if they want a safe landing!!

Fred, you are right the take off is relative easily. They've got that part down. Now the landings are a bit shakier. I wouldn't have to threaten anything.
Even if I had 20-30 million I would not want to ride in one of those cramped little tin cans. I am always a little wary when astronauts ride those things. Though I've got to complement them on ingenuity of for finding alternate funding for their space program. I wish NASA would sell rides to make some money.
Even if could speak Russian, I wouldn't want to work there. I couldn't survive the cold in Russia. I'd be bundled up like Kenny from South Park all the time.

How do you think those Billionaires made those billions???
How do you think Baseball teams win games??? There is a reason that the locker rooms and whatnot are underground, so they can meet with the Refs and Umpires before games...
Nothing wrong with Sam doing the same thing, she'll just be continuing the long line of American Business...
Now you're getting the idea... It's the old saying "Get 'Em Comin' and Goin'."...Fred Buer wrote:No, what you want to do is wait until they're actually up there, and then you ask them if they want a safe landing!!

I hate 2010. Hate it. Hate it. Hate it.
Don't jump, Sam, OK?
Many incredibly rich people spend so much money - we're talking many millions here - on ridiculous trash (or get suckered by various flavors of gurus) that I have actually wondered for years why no rich gaming fanatic just stepped forward and handed some big bucks to people like Aaron & Chris, or Jane Jensen, and said, "Knock yourself out - just make it good!"

That's sad new but not totally unpredictable either. While they took a very worthwhile and commendable risk with the 3 Cards games, amongst a market that consists mostly of action games with cutting edge graphics, the battle was always going to be on an uphill terrain. But the most important thing to take away from that (I think) is that they're still not giving up and they're passionate about what they do. I can't ask more. I'm also excited about the prospect of this new adventure game they're working on.
