Three days?

If Virgin galactic's weightless experience is too short, I can't help
feeling that three days is too long. Once the novelty of microgravity has
worn off, you've seen umpteen sunrises, and looked at every visible part
of Earth from at least 450km away, boredom's going to set in.


Speak for yourself. I've flown many times and every time I fly I spend
every minute of the flight with my eyes glued to the window. The exception
is when the cloud cover is so dense you just can't see *anything*. In LEO,
the earth goes by fast enough that excessive cloud cover shouldn't be a
problem for more than several minutes. ;-)
