Steve, how do you feel about going to space?

"I would love to go to space. As a matter of fact, I was on the board of directors of Virgin Galactic for 4 years, and I was scheduled actually to go to space. But I left the board; things changed. But I will get up there one of these days."

"But how does the Virgin Galactic trip work? So, what happens is you get into the spaceship, which is attached to the bottom of another plane. It takes you up to 50,000 ft, drops the spaceship, the rockets get fired, it goes up to what they call the Carmen line, which is about 100 km up, just short of it, and that's legally spaced."

"And then it goes into a parabolic sort of dip. When it's just making it going from up to down, the whole spaceship and everybody in it enters what they call zero gravity. So, basically, you float inside the capsule, and you just, you know, sort of float around the whole thing."

"You get back in, put your seatbelt on real quick before it starts going back down, because then you get intense G's and you get pushed back into the chair. Ten minutes later, you're on the ground."

"That's crazy! I want to come too!"
