Do ordinary folk ever get to experience the Northern Lights or take a jet flight into that realm beyond earth's atmosphere?

I've never seen the northern lights, but I have seen the southern lights - the Aurora Australis -
I used to live in a small town north of Wagga Wagga, NSW, and one night in winter I saw them from a hill on the edge of town. It was an amazing and awesome sight, taking up the whole width of the southern sky - shimmering green & blue light, rather like a curtain which moved and faded, then returned. I believe that it is very rare to see them so far north.
