Oct 28 2008Whee! View Outerspace From A Fishbowl

Not cool with viewing space from the cramped confines of a tiny dildo? Well how about the 360-degree views offered from the "Fishbowl Spaceship".
The company, founded by iD software (Doom, Quake) chief John Carmack, plans to build this far-fetched space bubble next year, aiming to start its first suborbital flights a year later. The company says a ticket on this wild ride will cost you a relatively cheap $100,000.
Awesome, now fumigate the bubble to get rid of those anal space tentacles and I'm sold.
Fishbowl Spaceship to give tourists a breathtaking 360-degree view [dvice]
Thanks to LSDiesel, who once huffed a bunch of nitrous and then heard this WAWAWAWAWA in his head that made him feel like he was on a spaceship.

AHH, Hell no!!!!!

where the hell is the door on that thing? it would be a whole hell of a lot more fun if it was filled with delicious jams and jellies.

I would no sooner visit space in a giant rocket propelled Christmas ornament than I would drink kerosene and attempt to light my own combustible infused farts.

that would be awesome for space sex.. probably also space photography - combine the two and you have some awesome space porn. space.

It looks like you'd have that feeling of perpetual free falling if you ride in that thing. I'd feel vulnerable enough in a huge metal spaceship never mind a glass bubble.

thats where we should exile thumperchica and lsdiesel.
take note, motherf***ers....no internet. play with your worms, you diseased ridden hydrocephallids.

Holy crap! LOL is the weird sand and fishy tank decor supposed to be there?!
8. JaC - October 28, 2008 3:48 PM
Where do I poop?
9. Atrieds - October 28, 2008 3:48 PM
Wouldn't it make a lot more sense if the entire vehicle was inverted, so you could have a 360 view of, say, the earth, rather than just stars and the floor of the ship?

theres an even stupider model here

11. Davo - October 28, 2008 3:49 PM
Where do you poop on that thing? You're supposed to hold it in?
12. dliup - October 28, 2008 3:51 PM
space sex for exhibitionists!!!
ZOMG the whole world can see us!
13. Davo - October 28, 2008 3:51 PM
Yeah, JaC, we are on the same page with this crappy design. Proper poo disposal is a very important part of being an astronaut.
14. LSDiesel - October 28, 2008 3:52 PM
First date? Anyone?
15. FlyingSaucer - October 28, 2008 3:56 PM
@ JaC How about your pants???
It will be cool to have a flight besides my Saucer :-)
By the way the ticket price is very cheap people its a bargain if you think about when they can really fly that thing and with the economic crisis and inflation going 100.000$ will be like 20$....
16. Hunter - October 28, 2008 4:09 PM
yeah no
17. TAINTSTAIN - October 28, 2008 4:12 PM
Fake!!!
This is a complete photoshop job. You can tell because the shadows are all wrong.
It looks like they cut the spacebubble out of BTTF and placed it into a scene from Never Back Down.
18. trainwreck - October 28, 2008 4:13 PM
hopefully they have a "morbid" list, where you just wait in a bunker til something catastrophic happens and you can go up and see it from space.
imagine seeing a meteor crash into earth from that angle, and watching the resulting tsunami ripple out at the vulnerable coastlines... or watching the japanese skyscrapers dance to another eathquake.
now thatd be worth the cost of admission

After beating off to the idea of having a sexy romp in one of these things, I decided that sex wouldn't be worth it without a place to smoke afterwords. Oh, and there is also no kitchen for your woman to make you a sandwich in either.
20. mamadough - October 28, 2008 4:27 PM
@19 sandwich? we take cereal breaks inbetween sessions.
21. JaC - October 28, 2008 4:27 PM
Poop my space pants?!?! Seriously you jest.
22. Daisy - October 28, 2008 4:31 PM

It looks like they cut the bubble out of the pauley shore movie, and placed it into a scene from Never Back Down.
23. Douchie Mc Bagman - October 28, 2008 4:36 PM
@19 - She must like me a little better than you. She usually cooks me soemthing after. Never a sandwich. She also usually brings me ice cream for desert and pretzel nuggets to throw at her naked t***.
You can use her as often as you like, you keep her lubed without stretching her out.
24. LSDiesel - October 28, 2008 4:49 PM
@23, Okay. Hey do I need to know anything about a beating schedule? I don't want to beat her in the morning if she's used to it in the afternoon.
25. finfan - October 28, 2008 5:09 PM
It's a... bunch of bubbles... wait how do you get out of the top?!
26. CaptainMorgan - October 28, 2008 6:12 PM
To answer those questions regarding the bathroom, and it's hard to see, but one of those 'tubes' in the bottom of the bowl is actually a shop-vac hose. Question. Answer.
27. RIMTUCK - October 28, 2008 6:29 PM
Looks like they serve tentacles.... MMM, mmm, wait.... they're bathroom tubes.
28. Mike - October 28, 2008 7:10 PM
@19 - mmm sandwich....
29. DreamFolder - October 28, 2008 8:32 PM
@18
It'd be a good spot to watch the start-up of the Hardon (Hadron) Super Collider... and ensuing Armageddon.
Makes me think of the Far Side... Lunans watching Earth erupt in nuclear (nukuler to politicians) explosions "Ooooo"
30. Douchie Mc Bagman - October 28, 2008 9:02 PM
@24 - Hows about you can blacken her left eye, and I get to blacken the right one?
31. ali - October 28, 2008 10:23 PM
man...a ton of people are gonna die, when all these civilian space flights start up.
well, maybe not. I just can't imagine bargaining price, when it comes to your safety. if i had the money, i'd pay twice that amount if it meant i'd be safe going up (and coming down).
32. Mort - October 29, 2008 4:18 AM
daisy is hot i want her childrenany because she can photoshop them and put them in the movie never back down hehe
33. LSDiesel - October 29, 2008 4:19 AM
Just a reminder: I'm a fat ass.
34. Mort - October 29, 2008 8:39 AM
just thought. shorly that would burn up on re-entry.i don't see any heat shields
35. TE - October 29, 2008 12:38 PM
One paint fleck at 10,000 mph and they're going to have a bad day.
36. Freeman - October 29, 2008 12:54 PM
Is it just me or do those tenacles look like the tentacle life-forms from half-life?
37. Douchie Mc Bagman - October 29, 2008 5:43 PM
@36 - Just you
