- isoskeles 5y ago> The Commercial Astronaut Wings programme updates were announced on Tuesday - the same day that Amazon's Mr Bezos flew aboard a Blue Origin rocket to the edge of space.

If the FAA regulates this, why wouldn’t it be necessary for them to clarify the difference between passengers and crew? We just had two such flights, I believe the implication is there will be more flights into space.
