There's nothing to look at except the big blue ball known as "Earth" Maybe the moon if you have a week of free time...

I can't believe you're that cynical feelgood.
Imagine blasting off a rocketpad at 4G, the entire ship shivering at the power of the engine pushing you out of out atmosphere. Imagine the earth falling away around you, and the horizon becoming bluer and darker until you can see the black expanse of space, dwarfing you and your whole planet. Imagine seeing stars only a handful of other people have seen. Watching our beautiful blue and green globe spinning below you. And imagine floating freely around in the ship, weightless. Then screaming down through the atmosphere, slowing down from some 26,000 MPH to 750 in about 2 minutes. It would be an experience of a lifetime! Well worth the 200K to be one of the first to do it.
