I imagine they can fit 400 passengers though. No need for those cabins or even a need to give passengers drinks.

- perilunar 9y agoFor 30 minute trips you barely even need toilets.
- Cshelton 9y agoI think personally I'd keep my seat belt on regardless even if there were restrooms
- modeless 9y agoYou kidding? There's no way I'm staying in my seat during zero gravity. I might pay more to do a couple of extra orbits and play around before coming down.
- perilunar 9y agoI reckon everyone would be out of their seats as soon as boost is done. Getting everyone back into their seats in time for re-entry might be the issue ("take the nearest available"). Earth to earth flights would be sub-orbital though, so no opportunity for extra orbits.
- c0ndu17 9y agoI'm gonna miss the ding of the seatbelt sign.
- agildehaus 9y agoI'd just shit my pants on liftoff.
- stretchwithme 9y agoThat's where the vacuum of space will clean up.
- perilunar 9y agoFree adult diapers for all passengers!
- pmontra 9y agoThat's really on spot but maybe it won't be your case. Many people don't like accelerations. Braking and turning a car a little harder than usual is much less that 1 g but some people don't feel comfortable with it, even when there is no danger. Remember motion sickness and the puke bags on planes. Lifting off with a rocket is always going to be higher g than with a plane. Furthermore it's probably going to require some amount of fitness. Too young or too old: fly on a plane. In the middle: it depends.
- stretchwithme 9y agoActually, an A380 can hold 853, so BFR could probably hold the same. If he can get the cost down to US $10 million per trip, that's US $12K per person.
