Makes me realise what UFOs really might be!

They could all be full of very rich, and high influence, punters from various other planets.

Luckily, they fly on by as they see nothing, through their port holes, worthy of grabbing!



UFO = Unwanted Famous Opportunists!

Space tourism is meant for the super rich.

According to the UK's Department for Transport, when it does become a reality a seat aboard a sub-orbital flight will likely cost upwards of £200,000 per person.
