As a geometric series, this is pretty uneven. Midpoint should be
$30,000, not $50,000. OTOH, $50,000 is a very useful price point, so
stick a $20,000 in there as well.
$1000
$2000
$5000 (MiG-21 ride)
$10,000 (MiG-29 ride)
$20,000
$50,000 (MiG, centrifuge, dunk tank, Soyuz sim)
$100,000 (Xerus ride)
$200,000
$500,000
$1,000,000
$2,000,000
$5,000,000
$10,000,000
$20,000,000 (Soyuz ride)
Multipliers are 2, 2.5, 2, 2, 2.5, 2, etc.
I went up to $20MM because that is the one space flight price point we
have hard data for.
