Right, and billionaires have been able to hitch rides to space on Soyuzes for decades, now. This is the first time an American middle class person could save up the price of a median house and buy a ticket to space. (And some Virgin Galactic ticket holders did just that.) Ironically, this is far more accessible than space has ever been. Hopefully it’s just a start. We want orbital flight and eventually flight to (and from) other celestial bodies to come down to this price (this is the goal for SpaceX’s Starship).
