Dave Ramsey would frame the question this way: "Given your current financial circumstances, would spend $100,000 of your savings to go on on a space shuttle ride?".
I'd personally take the money. We could probably buy a ticket on a similar space shuttle ten years down the road for $20,000.
There's another way to frame the question:
You come home from work and tell your other half you've won $100K. "Great!" he/she says, "what shall we spend it on?"
"Erm, I've blown it all on a trip into space. There's only one ticket. For me."
How long do you think you'd survive? 😀

SPACE IT IS.
The problem is that we're ruled out from the contest where I live!
