If you had an unlimited budget for 24 hours, what would you do?

Imagine beating the clock by racing the sun. With an unlimited budget, you charter a supersonic jet to chase the sunset across time zones, stretching a single day into an extended twilight. I would land in cities only long enough to refuel, stepping off the tarmac for private, 2:00 AM museum tours curated just for you.

Before the flight ends, I would lock in the ultimate finale: a ticket for an orbital spaceflight scheduled for the next morning. I would watch the sun rise from the edge of the atmosphere, realizing that you just bought extra hours of daylight that ordinary physics denies.
