Space Tourism Isn’t Worth Dying For
- barisser 12y agoThe author is projecting his preferences onto others as if they were objectively obvious. It is a very arrogant thing to do. Let the dreamers dream. Ridiculing their aspirations in a moment of tragedy smacks of Schadenfreude.
- tlb 12y agoYou could have said the same thing about early airline travel: how awful that pilots should die so rich jet-setters can get to Europe quicker. History proved that airline travel is pretty worthwhile for connecting the world. I think it's too early to dismiss the impact of eventual mass market space planes.
