Passengers : You are on a journey that cost millions, and they give cheap breakfast?

You are on a journey that cost millions, and they give cheap breakfast?

Really?
This trip cost millions, even if you get huge discount, and all you get is black coffee and serials for breakfast?

Well, it was only for four months (supposedly).

Re: You are on a journey that cost millions, and they give cheap breakfa

That's so the Gold ticket passengers will pay tens of millions.

Re: You are on a journey that cost millions, and they give cheap breakfa

yes, I assume something like that. It is not stated how much they pay.
But it seems u must pay millions to get an espresso instead of plain coffee or something.

But of course, we dont knew how the food is prepared. Maybe it is generated instantly out of molecules or even atoms. And maybe complicated food is just too complicated and so too expensive to give to everyone.

that is lab growned.
I am sure they have found faster ways in the movie...

But again. They only supposed to be wake up a few months. Taking food in the fridge would be cheaper I guess.

I just wonder if the special treatment lasts for the rest of your life on the colony world too. Have they already auctioned off who will be the government on Homestead II, or does the 'Company' always call the shots.

Do you think the breakfast are made of the minerals collided and collected from the shield using some alchemy technology?

Re: You are on a journey that cost millions, and they give cheap breakfa

I could write a complicated answer,
but truth is, I just dont *beep* know.

No, it is made the same way as we do on earth, from human excrement. Think of The Martian.

They only need enough net food, for the weight 5000 people put on in 4 months. Even assuming they are real pie-eaters, and add 10kg each, that's still only 50 tons.

Re: You are on a journey that cost millions, and they give cheap breakfa

In the film, didn't Aurora get her own food and pass it on to Jim? If you can do that, then distinguishing food for different classes of passengers would just be unenforceable.

Re: You are on a journey that cost millions, and they give cheap breakfa

I guess she did something illegal.

Like you go with group in restaurant, one is taking the 'all you can eat spareribs', and pass it on the rest.

Re: You are on a journey that cost millions, and they give cheap breakfa

don't we think that when they woke up the passengers would form different groups based on their skills and background?

Re: You are on a journey that cost millions, and they give cheap breakfa

yes. Of course.
But 99% of all people will act honestly in that case. I am sure.
Nobody wants to be kicked out of the ship, I think.

And for this 1%. Well, no big loss for the company.

Re: You are on a journey that cost millions, and they give cheap breakfa

She gets billed twice I guess. Even Jim could make a "phone call" for $6200 dollars*.
I guess the distinction was made to adress the huge spread in the credit-worthiness of the passengers.
Aurora is rich and can afford it, Jim is not.
Aurora is a customer/tourist, Jim an employee (with debts).

*What would be less than a dollar after the price had been adjusted (assuming an inflation of 3% over the next 325+ years).

The burger for 240,000 would cost around 12 pounds or dollar.

Re: You are on a journey that cost millions, and they give cheap breakfa

I am sure the breakfast is included in the ticketprice.
If it is billed, then they won't mind to give Jim the espresso coffee of more expensive meal.

Still... I can't believe, if you pay a million for a ticket (or maybe even 100.000 with huge discount), you arent allowed to have a breakfast wich is 1 dollar more expensive ;-)

But well... maybe this expensive cost 100 dollar more in space. I don't know. But if that is true, 4 months, is 120 days, would be 12.000 dollar more, then I would say, *beep* Why wake up 4 months early? Hell no! Just wake me up 1 day in advance, and make the ticket 12.000 dollar cheaper! I will use this money to book a long cruise on a cruiseship before I emigrate to another planet!

Or, I would just eat the cheap breakfast and save my money. It ain't just worth it, even when im rich!

just forgive my English, can you? Please?

Marius

Re: You are on a journey that cost millions, and they give cheap breakfa

Such petty criticism.

P.S. In this context, "English" begins with a capital letter. With a lower case "e" it refers only to the spin of a ball.

Re: You are on a journey that cost millions, and they give cheap breakfa

ok, edited ;)
