If I ever make enough money to buy a space flight, I'd do it in a heartbeat.

I agree, I thought the same thing while watching, He got to drive the Veyron at 253mph (not 300) and take this flight. THose are pretty monumental. Not only that, but he got personal driving lessons from Jackie Stewart, that's pretty cool too.
Hamster was nearly killed going 300mph in a jet car. That's monumental, but not really in the same way.
