People have long feared 2012 would be The End Of The World, but now for a
cool $4.4 million you'll be able to partake of the one obvious way, the one
obvious location, the one obvious destination in which one can survive
TEOTW, that SF fans have known for decades--in space:

P.P.S. Unfortunately it won't be ready in time to survive 2012 the movie.

Ready by 2012?  That doesn't seem likely.

I am a little confused. Does the $4.4 million include the "airfare", or
do you have to purchase that part separately?

Convince all of them to go up there, then when 2012 doesn't happen, we
don't let them come back down until they put on a televised match up
there! (Zero gravity bicycle kick!)

I think you wanted to end that sentence here - the remainder was utterly
unnecessary.

I'm in.
What the hell are they going to do with my 4 million anyway, since the
world has ended ?

Are you kidding ? That's the only thing they'll be showing up there.

I don't know about that. $4.4 million is a pretty small cost compared to
the typical price of getting to orbit. This is like booking a hotel room

What makes you think being deep inside the Moon is any more exciting
than being deep inside the Earth, on a day-do-day basis?
