Because you can spend leisure time on a yacht, not so much on a suborbital rocket.
Same reason why private jets like the Gulfstream are overrated IMHO.
80M for what is essentially an RV which can fly.
Our brain is not impressed with the technical feat of flying, it needs ample spaces to feel comfortable. Even a G650 is quite compact.
Yachts, 747-8 and Airbus A380 solve this problem, leisure time aboard those toys is really leisure time. Also be on the lookout for landyachts airships such as the Hindenburng
- missedthecue 5y agoThe problem with jumbo jets is that they are limited with the number of airports they can land at. You can't land at Jackson Hole in your A380.
- GDC7 5y agowell last time I checked longer runways are infrastructure, so it's not like money won't be availible to make that a reality.
