I always go to the airport with an empty water bottle in my carry-on. After I go through security, I fill it at a water fountain for free. (And my nephew travels with his girlfriend and five kids. Do the math.)
“If needed, an oxygen mask will drop down from the overhead compartment. To start the flow of oxygen, swipe your credit card in the reader in the seat back in front of you. The nominal charge is $100 per minute. Have a nice flight.”
I always thought NASA could be funded that way. They don’t even have to charge that much. Just $1,000 for a ticket up to the space station—but it’ll be $10 million to come back to Earth.

I think the uplift cost would be a lot more than $2.00.

When getting a “good deal”, make sure to find out what is and what isn’t included in the price.

Half a million is the lowest price. It’ll cost a lot more if they want a window seat.

And that’s just for the flight up. Accommodations and the return trip are extra. As is use of the bathroom.

Two dollars? That’s cheap compared to some places I’ve seen. Eight dollar water is one that comes to mind although five is pretty common.

That’s a pretty big bottle of water for $2. It’s cheaper than some stores I’ve been to.

Two dollars for a bottle of water is a bargain, considering it costs several thousand dollars to send a pound of anything from earth to space orbit.

Return by unpowered escape pod with no navigation. It costs extra to find you.

Space tourists aboard the R.U.Sirius? What about the risk that some of them encounter aliens?

Ha! I love that the water only cost two dollars – and that’s what stops him. Kind of explains how the rich get rich.

The timing of the payment is important also. One minute it’s US dollars, than it’s in Euros, then a minute later it’s in Rubles.
