If I paid $200k for a flight into space and it was not like a super intense theme park ride, I would feel cheated.

And the cameraman is just standing by the airfield. If I saw a plane that badly out of control coming in for a landing I would be sprinting for my car.

What's the hurry, just start uploading when you go to sleep or to work and stop it when you are back at the computer. Most people don't get more than a couple of GB a month of new music, so that is going to be a one time thing, and if you buy your music from amazon you don't even have to download it to your computer ,…
