My fault kids. From a practical perspective though it would take some doing for the dairy to cover the taxes. The tax reimbursement would then be taxable. Good luck getting a decent tractor bought for 150 large. Much less any equipment you need to pull. |

I'd take the cash right now. 30-40 years down the line I might have a different answer.

No brainer. Take the trip because Sandra Bullock is there.

First I thought about the money that could help me out and be dept free and be able to live on it for several years where I live now. Then I thought maybe if I did the space thing I could write a book or be famous enough. If I'm that good at winning a cheesy contest maybe I could go on to do great things with my life after space trip. Nah give me the money.

$150,000 is a lot more than I have. If I did have $150,000 in the bank, I certainly wouldn't spend it all on a trip to outer space.
So from that perspective, I would have to take the money. |

If the Bulgarian cosmonaut and an American mission control person are hot nymphs, I'm in either way and I hate heights.

I take the trip and auction it off on ebay. I make a cool million and buy a small island full of lactose intolerant people.
