Comment Space travel? Cool! (Score 1) 47

"..........priceless at $6295.00 (space travel included for destinations in the continental U.S.A.)"

Cool! I wanna go to Io, one of the moons of Mars! Other people will want to go to Mars itself, or Venus, or that moon of Jupiter that might have life on it, but I want to be able to say "I've been to Io!", and have other people say "Huh?"

Oh, wait it says it's included for destinations in the continental USA. Well, if a relative from Neptune ever wants to come visit me, here's a way to travel cheap.


This reminds me of a book I read on Burma Shave signs. One of the series of signs read "Free Offer! Free Offer!/A Trip to Mars!/For 1000/Empty Jars!/Burma Shave" Some wiseguy who owned a store asked all of his customers to give him all their empties he sent them all in ...
The Burma Shave company found a town called Mars, or Moers, or something like that in Pennsylvania, and gave him a vacation there for his efforts.
It's not exactly a trip into outer space, but at least it's better than their plan B, which was to give him a tour of the local Mars Candy factory.
