I'm gonna make my tip, given Elon's history:

Sergey Brin and Larry Page

Two of his freind rich enough, geeky enough, to go first.

Something tells me they wouldn't both go on the same trip, given the risk.

[biosoup]

yeah, their insurance company would be furious :)

[mrep]

Insurance company?

Why would billionaires waste their money or time on insurance?

[janywer]

just imagine the effects on Alphabet's stock price

[biosoup]

they don't care, they own majority of voting rights and almost the stocks itself

[ErikHuisman]

I would maybe guess Branson and Bezos as a stunt promoting private space tourism and thereby their space companies :)

[SmellyGeekBoy]

Wouldn't that be admitting defeat?
