Zoom! Into my favs!
Yes. What a incredible dream. Unless you have a huge load of cash (millions) to spend into space tourism. Apparently, with time (years, counts 10 and more) the price will drop enough to be "affordable".
To stare into the void of space, that vast emptiness- perhaps, and in hopes, to better understand ourselves.
I know Virgin and Space-X work a lot on this. Taken from Wiki: A 2010 report from the Federal Aviation Administration, titled "The Economic Impact of Commercial Space Transportation on the U. S Economy in 2009", cites studies done by Futron, an aerospace and technology-consulting firm, which predict that space tourism could become a billion-dollar market within 20 years.[79] In addition, in the decade since Dennis Tito journeyed to the International Space Station, eight private citizens have paid the $20 million dollar fee to travel to space. Space Adventures suggests that this number could increase fifteen-fold by 2020.[80] These figures do not include other private space agencies such as Virgin Galactic, which as of 2012 has sold 500 tickets worth $200,000 dollars each. Its ticket sales are expected to increase by the year 2013, when Virgin Galactic expects to begin flights.

"StarTram – a proposed launch system expected to cost $13,000 per person": [link] . But not by a rocket. By a "maglev space launch system".
But sending a pony in space is more possible. You just need to convince an astronaut to bring a pony figurine in the ISS. I'm sure if this day would happen, lot of tears will be wiped.
As for using the drawing, you will have to contact Calpain about that. As it is a gift I made for him, he owns all the rights to it.
Glad you like the drawing, though :3
No, I didn't draw the earth, heh. Wish I did though. I took a picture of it in Google Earth and brought it into Photoshop, where I worked my earth pony magics on it.
And thanks!
