Next week billionaire Jeff Bezos will fly into space on Blue Origin's New Shepard rocket. The price of a "ticket" was $28 million USD. "Dr. Andy" doesn't have that much extra cash laying around so he had to opt out...
But there are
other requirements. For example you have to be able to remain "strapped down" for an hour and a half.

According to the company's website, there are a few limitations on who can take a New Shepard flight: Everyone must be 18 years or older, be in good enough physical shape to climb seven flights of stairs in a minute and a half, be between 5'0" and 6'4" in height and between 110 pounds and 223 pounds in weight. Passengers must also be able to fasten and unfasten their seat harness in less than 15 seconds, spend up to an hour and a half strapped into the capsule with the hatch closed, and withstand up to 5.5G in force during descent.

The only way I could stay like that for over an hour would be if Kelly Shore was in charge.
