Wait, wtf. Do you honestly think only rich people are going to space? You know we have highly accomplished people called astronauts and cosmonauts doing scientific research, right?
- Merrill 7y agoScientific research is not the objective of higher volume space tourism as planned by Blue Origin, Virgin Galactic and others. Virgin apparently sold over 700 tickets at $200K or more each for suborbital flights. Tourism to ISS is temporarily suspended due to Soyuz being the only spacecraft able to transport the astronauts and cosmonauts. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_tourism https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_tourism
- natch 7y agoThe words "tourism" and "tourist" do not even occur in the article.
