At around $3k per kilo to orbit, I'd bet he'd be _very_ happy with the $6k or so 1/48th of a ~100kg astronaut+spacesuit would mean per launch!
He ain't getting anywhere near orbit using Estes motors though... Not even 1/48th of the way to orbit I'd guess...
(Hmmm, spaceflight.com's pricing page says they'll send a 3U 5kg cubesat payload to LEO for $295,000... That's I guess pretty close to "1/24th of an astronaut to orbit"? Minus the ~10,000% surcharge for "manrated" though, I'm guessing.)
