Monkeys in space
Another empty minded millionaire is going to travel in space. Great, she dreamed about exploring space since childhood. Now she can finally do it. Why? Because she has more money than she needs and she obviously isn't able to put it to good use. Meanwhile, thousands of people who dreamed about exploring space and actually pursued a career that should lead to that are being constantly thrown to the backburner and will never experience space travel, never, in their lives. It's impossible. There's not enough room for them.
The list of wealthy anonymous however is getting longer and longer. Celebrities are jumpin' in too. They had enough of dumping to charities, they realised it doesn't get enough coverage anymore. Don't get me wrong, I appreciate that A-list celebrities still give their tax money to charities rather than stuffing it into the bottomless Taxman's pockets. I really do.
But flying in space for 20 million dollars?
Who do you think you are, after all?
In this last case it's a nobody who wants to buy her own celebrity. A whimsical lunatic looking for bragging topics at her nail polishing sesions. 20 million dollars just to have a satisfactory sensation similar to what you could get on a $200 space flight simulator ride. You can even buy the thing, why not, Michael Jackson bought a full size roller coaster once. Then you can have your nails done in simulated space, right in your backyard so you won't have to worry about breaking 'em every time you want to touch something and you get slapped, along with a timely "Don't touch!"
