I really zoned out of the Inspiration4 mission, mainly because it's branding was "space for all" when in reality it was (and always will be) ITAR restricted, so for all really meant for Americans.
The Polaris missions here don't seem to promise that, so feels more genuine already
- MPSimmons 5y agoThe 'all' more meant for people who wouldn't necessarily pass the stringent NASA astronaut reqs.
- pkaye 5y agoI don't think ITAR is the issue. There was a Japanese billionaire who wanted to do something similar with the SpaceX Starship. The passenger doesn't need to know how the ITAR restricted technology functions. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-56261574 https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-56261574
