Flying in a Mig-29 closer to the edge of space than any other civillian could possibly dream to go for the price of a family saloon car ... rather than paying Mr Branson £250000 for a trip that probably won't ever happen!
Experience the most mind-blowing aerial adventure imaginable, a supersonic flight to the edge of space in a MiG-29. Head to Russia's world-renowned Sormovo Airfield for the trip of a lifetime, usually reserved for the likes of astronauts and cosmonauts. After meeting the instructor and ground staff for a full pre-mission briefing, don a g-suit and get strapped into the mighty MiG-29. Hold on tight for a jaw-dropping vertical take-off and climb to the very edge of the atmosphere, breaking the sound barrier and experiencing a barrage of aerial acrobatics along the way. Once at 80,000 feet, the awesome sight of the curvature of the Earth will take your breath away and make a memory to last a lifetime. Literally, out of this world

I wonder where does profits go, I bet developing and manufacturing even more war machines nonetheless after overpopulating the world I suppose we need even more killing machines.

Maintenance of the aircraft / permits / champagne / caviar / hookers / blow / Bugatti's / Bentley's... take your pick.
Simply paying your taxes pays for those war machines you are raving on about.

I was going to do this about 10 years ago when it was about £6000 - Looked 2 years ago and it was £12000.
There's lots of websites selling it for about this price, but if you are going to do it, you may as well pay the extra and do the tour and the photos too.
You also need to sort out your flights and visa for this offer.

1k is a lot of money in Russia. You don't need do much to get there.

Slightly cheaper here (without cashback) and more options included (including flights from Moscow/transfers/accommodation).
